At a Kenya's Life-Sustaining Water Hole





Kenya. Near Lake Turkana. Turkana nomads watering their herds of zebus and goats at deep water holes the women dug out of a dry river bed. Using large bowls they carved out of wood, the women scoop the water at the bottom of the holes and hand it up to the men above, who pour it in wooden troughs for their animals.

Amazon Indians Never Kill Young Animals




To eat, the Indians of the Amazon rain forest must hunt. However, they never take from the forest more than what they need. We, too, kill animals to eat. We kill cows, sheep, and pigs. And not always humanely. We also kill wild animals to grace our walls with their heads or use their skins or tusks. We even kill calves and lambs. The Indians never kill young animals. After hunting down their mothers, they adopt them as lifelong pets, never to end as food. Women will go as far as breast-feed the youngest animals.

Many of Brazil's Awá are still uncontacted, and they are running for their lives.



A wave of illegal loggers, settlers and ranchers have invaded their lands, and time is running out.
Today Colin Firth helps us to launch a major new campaign to save the Awá, and we need your help.

‘One man has the power to stop the loggers: Brazil’s Minister of Justice. But it’s just not his priority. Let’s push it up his list.’
— Colin Firth

Please watch our new film, and take a few seconds to send a message to Brazil's Minister of Justice: he can send in the federal police to catch the loggers, and keep them out for good. And, even more importantly, please share this with your family and friends.
If enough people show they care, it will work.
