I spent time with the Achuar people of the Ecuador Amazon this summer. That's my friend Olivia with our guide, Rueven, showing us the natural salve, Dragon's blood, that is in the tree. The story of the Achuar is incredible. By building partnerships with people from the modern world, like you and me, they are saving millions of acres of rainforest so all of us on the planet can all breathe easier.
This Amazonian tribe only came out into the modern world fourteen years ago because they saw in their dreams that an enemy, the modern world, would be coming into their pristine rainforest and they wanted to prevent that, not in their old warrior ways, but by creating partnerships and working with people from the modern world so we could all breathe much easier on the planet. From that call, the Pachamama Alliance was born. The positive result of this partnership is a powerful example fulfilling the Eagle and Condor prophecy which can be found on my website.
Thanks to the Pachamama Alliance over the past 14 years, The Achuar now have a beautiful eco village that you can visit. They even have an airplane and are in need of another, to get people in and out of the forest. You can't just mosey into the rainforest, it is a ride on a small plane over millions of acres of natural beauty and then a canoe ride. As soon as they own the next plane they will be on their way to being fully sustainable, which is an important goal they have.
I am happy to be a supporter of the Pachamama Alliance. Check out their site to see the great programs they are offering around the world to raise awareness about global warming and how you can help.
