Questions About This Episode

What is Editor's Picks: The fight for the Amazon about?

This week, we head into the Ecuadorian Amazon, where Indigenous leader and environmental activist Nemonte Nenquimo has spent the last decade fighting to protect her ancestral territory, the forest ecosystem and her way of life, from encroaching oil companies. We also hear from Andrew Brookes, a geographer at King’s College London and a regular contributor to Geographical on why the increasingly common comparisons between the space race and the global environmental crisis are misleading and counter-productive. You can buy a copy of Nenquimo's new memoir, We Will Not Be Saved , which tells her story of hope and resistance in the Amazon rainforest.
