In the rich tapestry of life, stories are the thread that bind us. They’re the best way for people worldwide to connect on a human level. Stories hold a profound significance in our lives, transcending boundaries and touching the depths of the human condition. They are a powerful source of inspiration and connection, reminding us that each individual’s experience and emotions are essential in this vast tapestry of existence.

Proceeds from book sales go to the Yasunidos Indigenous and Environmental Social Activists Organization, which successfully put a landmark referendum on the ballot to safeguard the biodiverse Yasuni National Park territory in the Ecuadorian Amazon from State and Oil drilling.

With its unique richness of plant, amphibian, bird, and mammal species, the Yasuni area urgently needs protection. It provides the highest levels of biodiversity per square meter worldwide, with over 150 threatened species residing there. The potential impact of the referendum to set a global precedent for direct democracy on climate change underscores the urgency of this cause.

Your support will further fund environmental advocacy and deter encroachment of indigenous territories. Donations can be made directly by contacting David Fajardo Torres at Yasunidos Social Organization, emailing guapondeligyasunidos@gmail.com, or WhatsApp: +593 987075453.
