"Some people say, ‘Oh, the Amazon is far away,’ but when the farthest room in your house is burning, your house is still on fire."

Madre de Dios

“Anything else you’re interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water.”

“At a time in history when scientists are recording unprecedented extinction rates and many people feel that the loss of biological diversity and deteriorating natural systems is the defining issue of our time, the west Amazon is ground zero. Nowhere are the stakes higher.”

“How humans love plundering a forest, like spoiled children with their parents' ATM cards and no concept of moderation”
