Testimonial

“Wonderful meeting with Tuntiak Katan from the Shuar tribe [Indigenous People] in Ecuador and Solange Bandiaky-Badji from the Rights and Resources Institute. Indigenous peoples are custodians of over a third of the world’s tropical forests. We must champion their efforts to protect our planet. @BezosEarthFund”
