A story we need to tell and we need you to listen!
Tzama - an indigenous Amazon native - needs to tell the world the story of his people. He is from Tawasap in Ecuador and it is at risk!
He says: "We need to document. We need the equipment, there is no more time to waste, the time is now!" He points to trees planted by his great-grandfathers. Now nothing grows on them.
He continues: "We are inviting the world to collaborate with us to care for the rainforest!"

What can we do to protect the rainforest?
- Awareness: Learn about the problems due to deforestation of the rainforest. Then share your knowledge and encourage others to become involved.
- Think before you eat: Don't eat hamburgers or beef products if the meat came from areas in Central or South America where rainforest was cleared to raise the beef cattle.
- Be a wise consumer: Avoid buying products made from rainforest trees such as mahogany, teak or rosewood. Ask the shopkeeper if the products were produced sustainably. Buy FSC-labelled tree.
- Sponsor an area of the rainforest: Donate a small amount and help to protect some of the most threatened rainforest in the world in Chile, Ecuador or Colombia.
