I grew up on the border between Brazil and Paraguay, shaped by the presence, resistance, and cultural memory of the Guarani-Kaiowá people. My earliest memories are stories shared by Elders, carried through songs, explaining our relationship to the land, to one another, and to the generations before us.

Every year, as monsoon clouds gather over western Nepal, the Babai River begins to rise. For many lowland villages in Bardiya, this once meant fear and uncertainty. Today, the response is different: it is calm, organized, and deeply rooted in community action.

Los Waorani somos un pueblo de reciente contacto. Hace 60 años fuimos forzados a entrar en relación con el mundo exterior. Sin embargo, mucho antes de la llamada “civilización”, ya teníamos nuestros propios sistemas de comunicación.

For generations, the Newar Peoples of the Kathmandu Valley have lived closely with nature. But today, beneath the capital city’s growing concrete landscape, a quiet crisis is unfolding. Rapid urbanization, rising temperatures, and unpredictable weather are doing more than harming the environment: they are erasing the centuries-old culture and way of life of the valley’s original inhabitants.

A corporate gold rush along the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda is taking land from Indigenous communities and polluting vital water sources. Yet, where global corporations expected little resistance, a powerful movement is growing, led by local women demanding accountability and environmental justice.

Before we began broadcasting about mining, we were already witnessing changes around us. The forests in our highlands were slowly being cleared. Trucks passed through village roads more frequently. Rivers that once ran clear began to turn cloudy after heavy rain. Farmers started questioning whether their soil would remain fertile. In Mamasa, environmental change is not an abstract issue. It is something we see, hear, and feel every day.
