#indigenousactivism

#HelenaGualinga is an #indigenous #activist from #Ecuador. Like Artemisa Xakriabá, her people, the #Kichwa People of #Sarayaku, are threatened by the destruction of their lands in the form of oil drilling, deforestation, and fires. She has witnessed her relatives fighting for their territories since she was young, and has followed in their footsteps. The Kichwa People launched the #LivingForestDeclaration last year, proposing not only national but international protection for indigenous lands. Not only is this important for the protection of indigenous people, but it is also the most effective way of conserving forests and biodiversity of the plants and animals that live within them. "By protecting indigenous peoples' rights, we protect billions of acres of land from exploitation." #KawsakSacha #amazon #amazonrainforest #inktober2019 #fwink #acrylicink #portrait #painting #limitedpalette #environmentalactivist #environmentalactivism #indigenousactivism https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IPyq9IYe3/?igshid=24tgybo3ytef

Quick sketch of Berta Cáceres a day late for #internationalwomensday Here's to the strong women who fight oppression & inequality in the face of almost certain death. Women have been an omnipresent backbone of the fight against inequality and capitalist oppression in the last century. Thank you all for the work you do, every damn day. #environmentalactivism #indigenousactivism #strongwomen #activist #bertacáceres #art #illustration #drawing #photoshop (at Bison bison)
