Rivers are integral to the holistic well-being of Indigenous Peoples, symbolizing our deep connection to our lands and the natural world. These waterways weave stories of resilience, support connection, provide sustenance and foster healing.

This is devastating. Ecuador has signed investment deals with Canadian mining companies Atico and Adventus in La Plata Project. Today they agreed a $3.2billion dollar deal with SolGold in the Cascabel copper-gold Project. https://t.co/tyV3XmU3CC #EnvironmentalJustice#ActionNow
👏 The Gran Manupare municipal #conservation area was declared, protecting 1.1 million acres of the Bolivian #Amazon. The area connects to a 25 million acre conservation mosaic, and will protect endangered species like the giant river otter.

Huge property in Portugal acquired by @PangeaTrust to be a sanctuary for Europe’s last remaining circus and zoo elephants. Given elephants were here just 15,000 years ago, and there’ll only be 20-25 of them on 1,000 acres (with more land to be added soon), this will be a really interesting ‘Pleistocene’ rewilding project too. Very cool. https://t.co/nDs2DlmJN2
