*Dear Reader*

August 9th commemorates the *International Day of the World’s Indigenous
Peoples*, celebrated around the world. This year’s theme is ‘COVID-19 and
indigenous peoples’ resilience’, and honors the innovative ways indigenous
peoples continue demonstrating resilience and strength in the face of the
pandemic while confronting grave threats to their survival. There is a
parallel between COVID attacking the lungs of human beings and industrial
capitalism ravaging the Amazon and Congo – the lungs of our planetary home.

That’s why *Kosmos* is pleased to share about the movement, #CuraDaTerra
(Cure of the Earth). The goal is to elevate the voices and perspectives of
our Indigenous elders and build on the great work of Amazon Watch and other
civil society organizations to create a global movement of allies focused
on a clear demand: an immediate moratorium on logging, mining, ranching,
industrial farming and all other forms of extraction.

*80% of the planet’s biodiversity is in Indigenous Peoples territories,
it’s more important than ever to support their struggle as one of the key
strategies for addressing both climate change and social justice. –
#CuraDaTerra*

We are living in a moment ripe with potential. If Indigenous ways of living
are forgotten, all Life is imperiled. Please share the following stories by
*Kosmos* friends on social media and be so kind to use the hashtag
#CuraDaTerra.
*What Indigenous Wisdom Can Teach Us About Economics*
By Helena Norberg-Hodge

"...Reaching out across the left-right divide is critical. The people who
vote for Bolsonaro and Trump do so largely because of the cultural and
economic marginalisation imposed by economic globalisation – a process that
has reduced many once-cohesive communities into isolated backwaters plagued
by depression, addiction and unemployment.

Now is the time to offer new political narratives– inspired by Indigenous
ways of knowing, living and being -that speak to a flourishing of
ecologically rooted communities and genuine prosperity. Now is the time for
economic localisation. It is the way human beings can become part of the
Cure of the Earth, *the Cura da Terra, *as Indigenous peoples have been
since time immemorial."

*Indigenous Languages As Cures of the Earth*

By Tiokasin Ghosthorse

"...The Amazon is a sacred place. Human Beings do not make sacred places,
they acknowledge them, recognize them, and sustain them without developing
them. We honor them with languages taught to us by the Earth herself. The
Original Nations of the Western Hemisphere understand sacred places where
Earth has directed their sensitivities to pure energy being in place. These
multi-dimensional Earth languages of the Original Peoples are also a part
of the sacred places. They are part of the *Cura Da Terra*, “Cure of the
Earth”, to borrow a phrase from the First Peoples of the Amazon."

*Waiter, there's a problem with my paradigm! Or what a bowl of soup can
teach us about saving the Amazon*

By Larry Kopald and Tom Newmark

*“…*What would happen if we eradicated the destructive, extractive, and
exploitative mindset that is ravaging the Amazon and replaced it with one
based on regenerative agriculture, a template for ecologically rational
food production that, as we wrote earlier, was co-created in the Amazon?
Imagine all of Amazonia  – all of its now diverse population – devoted to
soil and overall ecosystem health. Imagine the Amazon becoming a model of
planetary renewal and regeneration and how that could inspire a planetary
revival.”

Alnoor Ladha’s work focuses on the intersection of political organizing,
systems thinking and narrative work. Currently, he is active with Cura Da
Terra (#CuraDaTerra), a campaign of and for the indigenous of the Amazon in
their role as healers of the earth. Alnoor comes from a Sufi lineage and
explores/writes about the intersection between politics and spirituality in
times of crisis.”
