| To
stop the destruction of our culture and the felling of primary forests
by colonists, Gonawindua Tayrona concentrates its efforts on buying
back land from these peasants, as a peaceful way of recuperating
that which is ours, and of restoring our mandate, that of taking
care of the Heart of the World and of not forgetting the laws and
codes which define our road. For us, the Sierra Nevada is the road
which runs through the past and the Origen and it places us with
the great responsibility of maintaining the well-being of the Sierra
Nevada so that the rest of the world also may be well. The purchase
of lands by Gonawindua Tayrona has shown that in little time
it is possible to regenerate the forests and strengthen the hidrological
network of the mountain, thus helping to recuperate the entire ecosystem.
We
greatly appreciate the support of individuals who have given different
amounts which have greatly helped us to recuperate our ancestral
territory. Any donation, no matter the size, would be important
and would be used conscientiously and entirely towards the end of
adquiring and healing these lands. We thank the reader of these
pages who collaborates with us in defending the Sierra Nevada, our
culture, and who helps us comply with the Law of Origen which charges
us with taking care of the Heart of the World and thus of the whole
world. |
