my draw this in your style challenge (DTIYS) to celebrate 10k on my instagram! GUIDE: try your hand at this scene of a yanomami girl (from a people whose territory straddles the Brazilian / Venezuelan border) hanging out with a jaguar. Use the hashtag #biophoniesDTIYS & say where you’re from (bonus if you are on native land & can name which tribe(s)! I will share the results & send a postcard with a drawing to some of my favorites.
Only 5% of the world’s population is comprised of indigenous people living on their ancestral land. But these people protect 80% of the planet’s biodiversity, the heart and health of the earth itself. Almost all these people & the nonhuman life they exist with are under threat by either militant border security or capitalist “development”, leading to murders, burned / razed forests and polluted water. South American indigenous people account for a huge portion of these defenders, and I wanted to honor that.
yet another reason to give the #landback looking forward to your entries 🌱 bless up
