 We can help indigenous people by applying laws that
ensure indigenous land rights are protected. We can also
donate to organizations that help stop the amazon
deforestation. If the people were to recycle or if we
reduced the use of wood and paper, the companies that
cause deforestation will stop producing. The Government
targets Lumad Tribe schools because they think that
the New People’s Army (NPA) are using them as training
camps. We can help by being the voice of the lumad
people, we need to spread awareness of what’s
happening. We can donate to the displaced families and
victims of the attacks on lumad people.
