Life on the planet is at risk. Scientific evidence warns that the increase in the global temperature of the planet is the key factor in the acceleration of processes that bring us closer to the point of no return. Understanding life in this broad sense reminds us that we cannot speak of separate crises. We cannot speak of a climate crisis, a social, economic or cultural crisis, .... we speak of a single and complex socio-environmental crisis.

Faced with this reality, at Alboan and Entreculturas we work for the promotion of socio-environmental justice as one of our priority causes or lines of work. A cause that commits us to transform the context of socio-environmental crisis, towards a human lifestyle that orients us to the common good, to care for nature, to empower the most disadvantaged people and communities and to work for intergenerational justice. And within this cause, the Amazon is a fundamental axis of work. Under the heading SOMOS AMAZONÍA we are developing various strategies, together with allied organizations and individuals.

The report SOMOS AMAZONÍA. ECOFEMINIST KEYS TO DEFEND THE AMAZONIA aims to deepen and raise awareness about the links between the current economic model and the global socio-environmental crisis, and specifically in the Amazon, as it is a fundamental ecosystem for global climate stability, and therefore, for the maintenance of life on the planet.

For centuries, life on the planet has depended on a system that generates exclusion, inequality and exploits the environment. This unsustainable development model, based on accumulation, the search for power and economic growth, obeys the rhythms of the markets of great powers and ignores the impact they cause in the exploitation of nature and the violation of human rights.

This way of understanding the world accelerates the socio-environmental crisis: climate change is advancing, biodiversity is being reduced, water pollution is increasing and social inequalities are growing, because the enrichment of one part of humanity comes at the expense of the exploitation of the territories and livelihoods of the other. The various ecofeminist currents explain these dynamics as the capital-life conflict because they arise from economic models in which the process of capital valorization occurs at the expense of the goods of nature and human life and denounce the tendency of conventional economics to make invisible the "environmental services" provided by nature, in the same way that gender inequalities and the contributions of women to the sustainability of life are ignored.
