earthrise meets the Ashaninka who’re mobilising world motion for the planet from their ancestral lands within the Amazon.
The proof is evident: Human exercise is devastating our planet. Whereas we all know the causes of and options for the local weather and nature disaster, motion stays inadequate. If information alone isn’t sufficient to drive change, what’s going to?
earthrise explores rising actions difficult humanity to rethink its place on Earth, grounded within the perception that we’re a part of nature, not separate from it.
The sequence begins within the Brazilian Amazon, the place the Ashaninka of Apiwtxa are celebrating the 1992 demarcation of their ancestral lands. For many years, they’ve fiercely protected the rainforest, pushed by a deep non secular bond with nature. Throughout her time with this highly effective Indigenous group, earthrise presenter, Amanda Burrell, joins an ayahuasca ceremony and visits Institute Yorenka Tasorentsi, the place founder Benki Piyako is reforesting former pastureland by planting tens of millions of timber. His mission: To encourage individuals in all places to dwell in concord with nature.
