Climate love

For leading campaigns for the rights of indigenous people and of nature and against oil extraction and deforestation

The Olof Palme Prize 2022 is awarded to Patricia Gualinga, a leader of the Kichwa People of Sarayaku in the Ecuadorian Amazon. She is recognised for her courageous leadership in campaigning for the rights of indigenous people and of nature, as well as her struggle to ensure the survival of the Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest. In an age when biodiversity is threatened and climate change is demanding huge transformations, indigenous people are particularly vulnerable. Through her relationship with the land and the natural world, Patricia Gualinga shows us a path to sustainable societies, and shows us that we must all learn to live with nature, not in competition with it. Indigenous peoples’ struggle for survival is, therefore, the struggle for the survival of humankind. As the world faces ecological catastrophe it is vital that the voices of Patricia Gualingas and her fellow activists are heard. La premiación Olof Palme del año 2022 será asignada a Patricia Gualinga, lideresa del pueblo kichua de Sarayaku en la región amazónica del Ecuador, quien será premiada en mérito a su valiente liderazgo en defensa de los derechos indígenas y de la naturaleza, en especial por la supervivencia del Amazonas, el bosque tropical más extenso del mundo. Los pueblos indígenas están hoy expuestos de manera especial dado que vivimos en un tiempo en el cual la diversidad biológica está amenazada y los cambios climáticos exigen cambios. Es en este contexto que Patricia Gualinga y su pueblo muestran maneras sostenibles de vida en armonía con la naturaleza y no contra ella. Es por ello que la lucha de los pueblos indígenas es una lucha de la humanidad. Por tanto, dada la situación de crisis ecológica en la que se encuentra el mundo, la voz de Patricia Gualinga y la de otros defensores de la naturaleza es invaluable.

        She is amazing, I would love that Ecuadorian politicians and governments give her more attention. In Ecuador we have important indigenous leaders like her and Manari Ushigua fighting for nature that have been ignored and even silenced by the goverments
