We look for vaccination and do not perceive the long-term solution against pandemics that threaten to come up more frequently. Looking at this phenomenon in a comprehensive in-depth way would teach us to maintain equilibrium in our relation to nature. However as long as destruction of natural ecosystems is promoted by interests to maximize profits in the mining sector, by planting monocultures, or by the construction of large hydroelectric dams to process bauxite, iron ore, etc. pandemics will continue to pop up, draughts, floods and global warming will endanger lives. Uprooting cultures will provoke conflicts and a loss of relations to nature. Lessening biodiversity will reduce resilience. The life of our family, working group, community must be understood by all of us in order to know if the management of fires, land, water and atmosphere are sound and responsible not only for our well-being but also for all those who live in our region, country, continent planet. We are interconnected as parts of the wholistic ecosystem. Already now we sense that explication for climate change is different in north and south. However, we can no longer maintain to be the only ones who know the truth - this is a colonial inheritance. That is why for our own sake and for that of others we have to widen our view, combine forms of knowledge, think in planetary dimensions while caring for our territories. This is why we publish the talks we gave to Berlin university students in the summer of 2019 hoping that the inspiration will go on and we will feel strong to listen and get allies with those who have cared for their forests and territories, who have defended them against external threats for centuries and thus have protected us.
