Kawsak Sacha

Kawsak Sacha, meaning "Living Forest" in Quechua, is a concept from Amazonian indigenous cosmology emphasizing the spiritual and intrinsic value of the rainforest. It recognizes the forest as a living entity with its own consciousness, deserving respect and protection. This perspective encourages sustainable coexistence and emphasizes that the forest is not just a resource but a community of spirits and life forms integral to the Earth's ecological and spiritual balance. Kawsak Sacha promotes conservation efforts rooted in indigenous worldviews, fostering a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness with nature.
