Florence in Lima

“Even though the indigenous people are in Lima, far away from their original home in the rain forests, they don’t lose their roots, origins and knowledge. Especially how to protect themselves with plants. I admire this.

Their use of plants shows us how they are still connected to nature. And why they are called the protectors of nature – of the rain forest!

These people deserve respect and protection. And I’m sad that my government hasn't protected them well.

Now, there is a very sad and dangerous situation in the rain forest.”
