She is one of the leading voices in the European campaign against the EU-Mercosur trade agreement, denouncing its devastating consequences for tropical forests and Indigenous peoples.
In the film Amazonia, the Heart of Mother Earth, she brings crucial political insight by framing the struggles taking place in the Amazon within a broader European context of responsibility and coherence. Through her contributions, she underscores the urgent need to align the EU’s trade policies with its climate commitments and core values.
