about

In Kichwa, Mamallacta means mother earth.

Nelson Ramon Mamallacta Alvarado, carries a surname as bearer of an ancestral knowledge and shamanic practice, a heritage from his father Casimiro Mamallacta Mamallacta.

As shaman priest is deeply connected with the guardian spirit of the jaguar and knows, that the Amazon rainforest is a subtle organism of collective memory. A complex web of living paths, once walked by the ancestors.

Devoted to his vision, as leader of his ancestral land and active member of the association of 'Red Guardianes de Semillas' in Ecuador, protects the equilibrium of nature and the autochthonous culture.

In his statement, Nelson Ramon Mamallacta Mamallacta speaks about his debate with the Institute of Agrarian Reform and Colonization in 1974, that has proposed to the indigenous communities to work and cultivate their land more efficient, in order to get more expansion. The result was destructive; each owner pull down 3000 hectares of secondary forest for farming. In a period of three years, the destruction of the rainforest has reached 300.000 hectares land!

And other similar event has happened with the petrol companies, when they came to their territories and offered them immense monetary price and cars to buy their land. Nelson and his community denied with the explanation, that money or other goods can not replace the value of Nature, and that such behavior would be for their culture a betrayal to their Motherland, where they were born and raised.

"The territory land is our Mother. We don't sell to none. We don't want to betray, to be burned, to be killed. We have the right to life!"
