Despite decades of international efforts, the Amazon Rainforest faces alarming degradation, severely impacting its environment and indigenous communities. We invite you to support the Sacha Warmi Center, an educational resource on the Amazon's edge in Ecuador's Pastaza region, fostering sustainability and community health.

Our most cherished sustainable farming practices, from organic agriculture to the farm cooperative, have roots in African wisdom, but discrimination and violence against African-American farmers

Our most cherished sustainable farming practices, from organic agriculture to the farm cooperative, have roots in African wisdom, but discrimination and violence against African-American farmers have led to their decline from 14% of all growers in 1920 to less than 2% today. Furthermore, Black communities suffer disproportionately from food apartheid. Renowned longtime farmer, educator, author, and food sovereignty activist, Leah Penniman, explains the deep roots of this land loss and food injustice and shares the work she at Soul Fire Farm and others around the country in Black and Brown farming communities are doing to reclaim ancestral rights, renew ties to the land, achieve genuine agency in the food system, and advance food sovereignty. (Leah is also the sister of frequent Bioneers presenter Naima Penniman, half of the brilliant musical/spoken-word duo, Climbing PoeTree.)

Leah Penniman delivered this talk at the Bioneers 2020 Conference, introduced by Nina Simons. Watch more keynote videos at https://bioneers.org/2020talks/

Leah Penniman is a Black Kreyol farmer, mother, Vodun Manye (Queen Mother), and award-winning food justice activist who has been tending the soil and organizing for an anti-racist food system for over 20 years. She currently serves as founding Co-Executive Director of Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, New York, a people-of-color led project that works toward food and land justice, which she co-founded in 2010. She is the author of: "Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land."

Indigenous solutions stem from a spiritual power inherent in our being and deeply connected to ancestral lands and waters. This place-based power shapes our identity, informing a spiritual ecology

Indigenous solutions stem from a spiritual power inherent in our being and deeply connected to ancestral lands and waters. This place-based power shapes our identity, informing a spiritual ecology where communities are bound by home's knowledge. We must renew ancient traditions, adapting them to contemporary challenges while honoring our ecological community and living in harmony with all life.

Moving forward requires validating indigenous ecological knowledge and recognizing our responsibilities to "relatives," not resources. We must commit to building systems that enhance life for all nature. This is a call to action: work together, grounded in spiritual heritage and accountable to ancestors, to create a better future.

Prof. Shannon Vallor, Baillie Gifford Chair in AI Ethics, explores whether machines can possess virtue for harmonious human-AI coexistence. She examines virtue's meaning for AI, its link to trustworthiness, and the role of value alignment, concluding with ethical and design challenges.

The course "All Things Have Standing," from Carnegie Council and Fighter Steel Education, draws inspiration from the "Spark Hunter" audio drama's idea that all things have ethical standing. It explores AI and environmental ethics, their psychology, philosophy, and global challenges.

Szuson Wong presented at the SEED Graduate Institute's 2012 conference, where her workshop explored integrating the divine feminine and masculine. This integration, she emphasized, is crucial for personal wholeness and humanity's spiritual evolution.

A multi-national writer, speaker, healer, and teacher, Wong is the author of *Guardian of Gaia*. Her diverse background includes a Registered Nurse qualification, an Acupuncture degree from the Beijing International School, and a Doctorate in Energy Medicine. Her book is available on Amazon.

The Rights of Nature, also known as the Rights of Mother Earth, is a global movement dedicated to creating communities that respect and defend nature's rights. Didier Lacaze was interviewed by Barry Heidt of Sustainability Action Media (SAM) for an online campaign promoting Indigenous Voices of Sustainability. This initiative was co-sponsored by EarthSayers.tv and the Pachamama Alliance, focusing on wisdom keepers from Ecuador.

Didier and his wife, Rosa Canalos (Kichwa), founded the Sacha Warmi Center. Located on the outskirts of the Amazonian Rainforest in Ecuador's Pastaza region, this educational resource is part of PROMETRA (Promoción de la Medicina Tradicional Amazónica), a local initiative they established in 2005.

The U'wa people continue their decades-long, nonviolent struggle to protect their sacred ancestral lands from environmental destruction. While Occidental Petroleum departed in 2002, Colombia's national oil company Ecopetrol now intensifies oil exploration activities, particularly around the Magallanes platform.

This exploration encroaches on U'wa ancestral territory and the spiritually significant Cubogón River. U'wa spiritual leader Berito Cobaría emphasizes their ancient wisdom: oil, or "Ruiria," is the Earth's blood, and its extraction causes a slow environmental death. This perspective aligns closely with modern climate change warnings.
