Voice of the River
"The river is life-water. What we do with it affects the life of the people, the life of the animals, the life of the river and the life of the waters. This is true for the world, not just for Brazil, but for the world."
– Fulgêncio Manoel da Silva. Brazilian farmer, and river activist.
