“At this table was our gaze, our way of life, as we relate to this nature. He was a scientist showing what is going with the forests. And also a musician who was arguing that music can also be a way to educate, when you speak with feeling this subject, ”explained the Acrean representative.
Leader Ashaninka also talks about the importance of events that deal with the environmental cause and have a great repercussion, so that it is possible to reach other audiences that may not be inserted in this debate.
“Many are feeling, but they have a hard time being able to do something because they find no guidance. So my speech at this table that we participated in, it was in the sense of showing that there are ways to live healthier, with greater balance. The way of living with the traditions that we live in the forest and for a long time support themselves, ”he said.
