"While newspapers and television talk about the lives of celebrities, the chief of the Kayapo tribe received the worst news of his life: Dilma, "The new president of Brazil, has given approval to build a huge hydroelectric plant (the third largest in the world). It is the death sentence for all the people near the river because the dam will flood 400,000 hectares of forest. More than 40,000 Indians will have to find another place to live. The natural habitat destruction, deforestation and the disappearance of many species is a fact."
What moves me in my very bowels , making me ashamed of being part of Western culture, is the reaction of the chief of the Kayapo community when he learned of the decision—his gesture of dignity and helplessness before the advance of capitalist progress, modern predatory civilization that does not respect the differences. But we know that a picture is worth a thousand words, showing the reality of the true price of our bourgeois "quality of life". - quote from a member on Facebook

 This breaks my heart.

I am so sick and tired of society ruining these people's lives!! It started hundred of years ago and still hasn't stopped. A couple of weeks ago there was some journalist who got really close to an Indian tribe in Peru and they started shooting arrows at him. They are one of the last uncontacted tribes on Earth so the newscasters calls it a "tremendous accomplishment" to get this close to them. Why!? Because you got close to people who wants to be left alone? Get real.

I do what I can to preserve all of the beautiful and natural things that this Earth has provided for us. But these tribes do it all the way. They protect nature with their lives. How can some people be so incredibly disrespectful and greedy that they intrude on these people's lives, just so that they can take pictures of them? Leave them alone. Open your eyes and realize that we should all live after their example. Appreciate the fact that trees gives us the possibility to breathe. Stop cutting them down!

And all of this unnecessary killing of bugs! Our ego tells us that we are the only ones with feelings, that we are the only ones with relationships and families. But I think that if you kill a spider, there IS a relationship that you are ruining. If a fly gets into my house I always do my best to get it out, it's not like the fly knows it's not supposed to be there. I'm not saying that I am braver than anybody else, I can't pick up a spider in my hand and put it outside. But I find other solutions to it than to just run away screaming! Seriously people, think of the advantage you have here. You're huge and the spider is tiny. Just use a paper or whatever to get it out. Just don't kill it. If you just look at a spider web... I mean, that is magnificent to me! Look at a spider web and see what they can do, look at a birds nest and see what that is...

My people, some of them have run away to the hills and have no shelter.
No food, no one knows where they are,
Hear me my chiefs, I am tired.

My heart is sick and sad, I will fight no more.
