“Because we believe we are nature, we believe that, if we destroy nature, we are destroying ourselves. Our culture is all about being in harmony with our lands.”

Vandria Borari is the first indigenous lawyer coming from the Borari people in the Brazilian Amazon. She believes in preserving Amazonian traditions and defending the rainforest, living a life of service to maintain a culture that unites people with the land they inhabit.
