My name is Nixon, and I'm an A'i Cofán filmmaker, artist, and member of the #Sinangoe#IndigenousGuard.
You might be wondering what that means: an Indigenous guard. To understand it better, allow me to take you on a journey into my ancestral territory in the Upper #Amazon, a land of dense #forests and towering trees, crossed by surging #rivers. A land preyed on by #loggers and #miners.
If you have questions about digital security, safety risks, or threats in your reporting on frontline environmental defenders, @mongabay has a free webinar for you.
Join me and 4 panelists on Sept 7th for an interactive discussion on the above topic.
