Protector of a Precious Place
By focusing on the Amazon rain forest, Native Indian leader Raoni hopes to
create a better world
For 30 years Raoni
(raw-oh-nee), chief of the Caiapo (kay-ah-poh) tribe in Brazil,
has been leading a fight to protect the Amazon rain forest. He is a guardian of
the Caiapo Indian
reserve and Xingu National Park, a territory that's roughly the size of the
state of Florida.
The reserve is located in the Brazilian Amazon region and home to around 12,000
Indians.
It forms the largest tropical rain-forest reserve in the world. These native
lands are being threatened by
forestry, mining, ranching and farming industries seeking to take over the
forest's rich natural resources.
A Superstar Joins the Fight
Raoni has enlisted help from the modern world for his cause.
In 1988 he met rock star Sting in Sao Paulo while the singer was on a world
tour.
Sting decided to visit Raoni's village, where they spoke. "I am not a
politician," said Sting. "I am only a singer,
but many people listen to me. I promise you that whenever I speak on your behalf
I shall tell your story because
you are the only protectors of the forest, and if the forest dies then so does
the earth."
A Man with a Plan
In 1989, with help from Sting and environmentalist Jean-Pierre Dutilleaux, Chief
Raoni was
able to spread the alarm across 17 countries. Through news conferences and TV
broadcasts,
his message was clear: destroying rain forests not only destroys Brazil's Indian
tribes, it threatens the future of all people.
"If man continues to destroy the earth, even stronger winds will come... not
just once...but several times...sooner or later.
These winds are going to destroy us all," said Raoni.
One Mission for One World
Under Raoni's presidency, the "Instituto Raoni" will be managed and maintained
with
help from Brazilian authorities, FUNAI (National Indian Foundation) and
environmental groups
in France and Belgium. Though they are from different countries, they are united
for the same reason.
"We all breathe the same air, we all drink the same water, we all live on the
same planet," said Raoni.
"We must all protect it."

“Meet Captain Kelly” said
JP Dutilleux. Sting turned to face a wild apparition, about two metres tall,
dressed in sandals, shorts and a sleeveless flak jacket unbuttoned to reveal a
torso covered in a willow pattern of tattoos.
Indian bangles hung from his wrists. There was a jungle knife strapped to a
snakeskin belt and a pair of bright red spectacles.
Sting’s hand disappeared in a
vice-like grip. ”Nice to meet you” said the apparition in a broad north of
England accent.

Clive befriended
and lived with Raoni's people 25 years ago deep in the Amazon. Several years ago
Sting and his wife
visited the tribe with Clive. A large sum of money was raised, but never reached
the people it was meant for,
please help with this problem. If you know Sting, or one of his agents, let them know
they need to make good their promise.
