Bitaté Uru Eu Wau Wau, the president of the Uru Eu Wau Wau Idigenous People's Association, photographed at Aldeia Jamari, in the Uru Eu Wau Wau territory, Rondônia, Brazil.

About the importance of the forest, Bitaté says: "My relationship with the forest comes from a young age, I learned how to hunt, I learned to know the great wealth that we have inside the territory, and I was always very proud to fight against invasions and everything that could destroy our forest. The relationship of my people with the forest comes from a long time, we have always been with it, and growing and seeing the good it does for us. My relationship with the forest is very good and it makes me very sad to see the deforestation coming closer and closer to our villages. Our ancestors have struggled to keep the forest from being destroyed and destruction is growing faster than I could imagine. My job is to protect the forest and show future generations that we have been fighting for preservation so that they can continue our work."
