For Nina Gualinga, the Amazon is not just a home. She fights to protect the forest

Kristeligt Dagblad 5 Jul 2022 Danish

Nina Gualinga, a 29-year-old indigenous Kichwa woman from Sarayaku, Ecuador, has become a prominent voice for the rights of indigenous people in the Amazon and an advocate for climate justice, fighting against oil, mining, and deforestation industries. She emphasizes the crucial role of indigenous people in combating climate change, as they protect land and keep fossil fuels in the ground. Despite threats and violence faced by environmental activists, Gualinga continues her fight, drawing parallels between the struggles of indigenous people in the Amazon and those in Northern Europe, including the Sami people. She calls for greater respect and action from governments to support indigenous rights for the benefit of the planet.
