We Will Not Be Saved by Nemonte Nenquimo
We Will Not Be Saved by Nemonte Nenquimo is a fierce and necessary manifesto from the heart of the Amazon rainforest. As an Indigenous Waorani leader and environmental activist, Nenquimo blends memoir, history, and urgent commentary to challenge colonialism, capitalism, and climate injustice. Her voice rises from deep within the forest not just to be heard, but to awaken.
This is not a book of despair, but one of resistance, resilience, and sacred connection. We Will Not Be Saved is a call to action from those protecting the Earth’s last wild places and a spiritual guide for all seeking a better future.

Memorable Quote (from the book)
"The forest is not dying it is being killed. And we remember who the killers are."
Translation (Sinhala):
"වනාන්තරය මිය යන්නේ නැහැ එය ඝාතනය වෙමින් පවතියි. අපි ඝාතකයින් කවුරුන්ද යන්න මතක තබා ගනිමු."
Translation (Tamil):
"காடு இயற்கையாக இல்லை அது கொல்லப்படுகிறது. அதை கொல்வோர் யாரென்று நாங்கள் நினைவில் வைத்திருக்கிறோம்."
