Nemonte Nenquimo is an indigenous Waorani woman who has committed herself to defending her ancestral territory, ecosystem, culture, economy, and way of life. For thousands of years, the Amazon rainforest has provided food, water and spiritual connection for not only its Indigenous inhabitants, but the rest of the world. But the endless extraction of its natural resources by oil companies is catastrophically destroying the environment, and the lives of those who call it home.
