Nemonte Nenquimo believes that Mother Nature is sending us a message—we just need to listen. “She’s crying. She’s shouting. She’s screaming. She’s saying that I am when the tides are rising, the rivers are rising. There are droughts. And this is my language. This is my alarm to you.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Nenquimo, an Indigenous leader of the Waorani peoples in Ecuador and founder of the nonprofits Ceibo Alliance and Amazon Frontlines, has focused much of her activism on preserving the Amazon from deforestation and oil extraction. The warning signs of the climate crisis are a reminder of our collective responsibility to the Earth, she said in her TIME Earth Award acceptance speech on Wednesday evening, after the honor was presented to her by Peter Seligmann, CEO of nonprofit Nia Tero and chairman of Conservation International. “My people are listening so closely to Mother Earth, and they know that Mother Earth isn’t asking that much from us,” Nenquimo said.
