Preserving the environment is to save lives. That is why the environmental and human rights movements must go together. It is essential to recognize the environment as a fundamental human right and to indigenous people, quilombolas, riverside dwellers and peasants - the true guardians of the forest, in their struggle for rights and peace in the field.

The impact of large-scale business activity must be mediated by the state with transparent public policies for environmental and the affected communities protection, throughout its production chain. Large brands and corporations must be held able for violations and act with environmental, human rights and labor safeguards.
