The article “Rain Forest Rebel” by Joshua Hammer is indeed very touching. We Filipinos also have these tribes that we preserve here in the Philippines because it has been part of our history and culture; it is a part of who we are. What Almir Suri and his team are doing is really moving. Knowing that some people are still helping secure their culture, traditions and natural richness is very affecting, more so if those people are not even part of that particular tribe. But by just mingling with them, learning their culture and such, they began to be attached to them and felt like they are one of them which are good. Like them, all of us have to really see and know how these tribes are living on their own. All of us must respect every single person in that tribe as human beings. The only reason why some of the members of the tribe are being a danger to the modern people is that they feel threaten. It’s saddening that slowly the tribes are disappearing and that some people just forget about them like they never existed. Well honestly, they are not the only ones that will be gone but the beautiful surroundings that they are also trying to preserve. Like the forest in Brazil, it is the Surui Indian tribe who are protecting this from the illegal loggers. Their lives are being threatened and they have no one protecting them from it except with their beliefs. It’s really a relief that they have Almir Suri who is part of their tribe and is really trying to fight for the tribe’s survival. Even though he had study in a nice university outside their place, he hasn’t forgotten where he came from and is still ready to help them grow more. Also, I think Almir is trying to show the world that he can also put up with the abilities of the modern people, that even though he started from being a member of a tribe whose life is just simple yet civilized, he knows what the overall people need in order to live in a clean and peaceful environment. This is a very nice article for us to read because it serves as a lesson for us to never forget where we came from and take care of what’s left to us because the future generations will also be depending on it. But we should also not forget that we cannot do these all without the cooperation of every single person living in this planet. We should all work together to attain the kind of living we want for ourselves and for the future generations.
