Forests
Personal memory by Maria Espouie Cortagao
1988 • Cloud Forest, Ecuador
“Before summer, the mountains and the valleys were green, filled with life. Today you can see why the forests are still being burnt and many species have been affected and the lungs of our territory are growing weaker and possibly dying. On the news you hear about that the same has happened in other countries too.”
