This book was a fun read aloud for my son! «Amazon Rainforest Magic The adventures of Namowë, a Yanomami boy»
«I read this aloud to my third grader as we've been learning about different world cultures.
He is pretty picky about books and likes them to get interesting right at the start. This book was great for him. He really enjoyed the talking plants and the quest with the help of the animals.
I enjoyed the story and the illustrations.
Glad we picked this book up!»

A Fable with a Message –  «Amazon Rainforest Magic The adventures of Namowë, a Yanomami boy» – For ages 8 to 100!
«Amazon Rainforest Magic presents a world that at first might seem whimsical, where people, animals, and plants joke, conspire, and argue with each other.
Behind the charming artwork and story is a clear message that we humans are not separate from our environment and that to put ourselves above nature is arbitrary and ultimately counter-productive.»

Legal Gold and Illegal Gold - If Barrick Gold Corporation or wildcat prospectors were digging for gold in your back yard and contaminating your only source of water with cyanure or mercury, would you still decorate yourself with gold jewelry, watches and accessories?
Nothing says “I love you” like… 20 tonnes of mining waste?! That’s how much waste rock is dug up and discarded to produce the amount of gold in a single ring!

Neo-Colonialism - Legal and Illegal Gold Mining and other Extractive Industries vs Indigenous Peoples, Wildlife and Water!
“Barrick Gold killed everything here. Barrick is worse than Christopher Columbus. We had no concept of what the devil was until Barrick Gold came to our lands.” https://barbara-navarro.com/2023/03/29/neo-colonialism-legal-and-illegal-gold-mining-and-other-extractive-industries-vs-indigenous-peoples-wildlife-and-water/

The mantra that Cartier as well as most of the other jewelry companies, gold mining corporations, Bruce Albert and Survival evoke is the "illegal/legal" gold dichotomy: "Clean up the supply chains to ensure anyone buying gold can be sure it’s been legally produced." But this has always been illusory because "legal" gold is also toxic! Cyanure is used in legal gold mines like mercury is used in illegal gold mines.

When Chief Raoni Metuktire came to Paris to speak, he asked that Europeans stop eating meat in order to protect the people of the Xingu from destruction of their territory by the agro-industry. Along the same line of thought, all of you, speaking on behalf of the Yanomami, should ask people in Europe & the rest of the world, to stop buying, selling & wearing gold to protect Yanomami territory from the predatory industry of vanity & its ornamental gold merchandise.

A creative campaign to bring global awareness of the cost of gold mining to Yanomami Indigenous communities was launched in order to coincide with the 2023 Oscars ceremony.
«One of the biggest symbols of success can soon be in your hands, the Oscar. But your symbol of success costs too much for our people. That is why I offer you a different statue, Omama, the creator of the Amazon & Yanomami. Even Omama needs allies in the fight against gold mining. 
Please, help us»

What's this man selling? - Cartier bought some of it, did you, too?
It's time to really ask ourselves what is "enough" in our lives...
We are leaving environmental devastation behind every step we take, every purchase we make !!!

Would you enjoy wearing gold if your garden or town was destroyed and your water supply contaminated in order to extract it, or if your children had developmental problems because of mercury poisoning? 
Me neither. It’s up to us to say NO to Gold!

What is utopia for?
«Utopia is on the horizon. I approach two steps, it moves away two steps. I walk ten paces and the horizon runs ten paces. As far as I walk, I will never reach it. What is utopia for? For this: so that I don't stop walking.»
