It is an honor for us to have Roberto Moreira of the Mbyá Guarani original people on our series this month. The Guarani began as a migratory people due both to survival needs and spiritual beliefs. They originated in the Amazonia and traveled south over thousands of years. Roberto is the chief of the Yasy Porá village in the Argentina rainforest.
Due to their beliefs the conversation and video with Roberto focuses solely on his work with preserving the tree and medicinal plant species in the area he calls home. Please join us as he shares:
- His absolute delight to be speaking with others who care as much about the Earth as he does
- The importance of planting trees and how his message to us all is if we each could plant at least five trees we could change the planet for the better
- Why he is working to save the species in his area and how deforestation there is an increasing problem
- How he hopes to start a medicinal nursery and how the knowledge is shared among generations
- The challenges of growing a full nursery such as lack of tools, time and water
- The 3 main reasons they are facing a water shortage
- A call for help, if anyone know of ways to resolve their water issues or nursery challenges
