Urakepe - Rainforest Alliance

For us, the rainforest is like a living being. Weknow we need to preserve it. But all around uspeople are destroying it. There are even a bunchof outsiders who have moved onto Chachi landand are cutting down trees. Our territory is partof the Mache-Chindul Biological Reserve, so myuncle is trying to the get the environmental ministryto make those people leave. But he said gettingthe government to help us Indians is like trying tomake a turtle run.
