Nathalie Kelley Instagram – As I prepare to celebrate my 39th year on this planet (in October… excuse the big buildup) I have to give gratitude for the opportunity to be living my dream of living in the Amazon, meeting and working with the leaders I most admire : @alessandra_korap, Chief Raoni @institutoraoni), @watatakalu and @leilasalazar2012 and her incredible team at @amazonwatch plus collaborating with @aliceaedy and @joixlee of @earthrise.studio and @midiaindigenaoficial founder @priscilatapajowara – my heart is so full of joy knowing that I to get to do this work with THESE humans – who bring me constant hope, joy and inspiration even in these difficult times. I write about a lot of depressing things on here, and it’s true, these times are urgent and the threats very real. But I feel it is important to share the joy and beauty with you all also… thank you @maira.irigaray for the beautiful Tapajos immersion experience. There is so much work to be done here but it’s so important to always remember WHY we do what we do.
