Globalised strike!
Globalised hope!
We are against policies
that promote lands without people
And not only see the economic dimension and business for a few
you should see the benefit for all
Now, the world is spinning in reverse
we're not going towards progress but going backwards
This whole discourse on sustainable development
that is happening is a big joke
Their should come and see how we are living
and then they can realise
how we really live
and stop taking us away from our land
How can we make our voice heard by
these persons who have a tie and a suit
Without our participation
you are violating our rights
because often the decisions can be good for you
and bad for us
When indigenous people say: "We have rights over the forest"
that doesn't necessarily mean ownership
because our relationship with the forest
is not one of ownership, but of coexistence
There is political interests of a few, to the detriment of many
Think of the poorest of the poor before taking any decisions
There is ittle money for compensation
for prevention, for mitigation
If there is money coming in with genuine and sincere interest
to help our people
I think first and foremost they have to
let indigenous people decide what they want to do with the money
The important thing is not to have the money
first, you have to know what is going on
There is more than one way to care for the forest
the way we care for the forest is
on a small scale
with the intention of having many benefits
As one of our elders would say
it's our supermarket
it's our livelihood, our health
and therefore, it's our life
We say "yes" to life
we say "no" to death
we say "yes" to life because
forests are life
our food is life
the life of the farmer is life because
they take care of the forest because they love it
There are people with more conscience
I think conscience comes with love
Now, if you look globally
markets are not succeeding
finance is not succeeding
government is not succeeding
but communities succeed at managing our forests
