This accelerates replication and potential aggregation of a transaction structure to drive sustainable conservation outcomes Conservation and Climate Finance Blueprints
- 9. Caption Photo I am a biologist and I travel a lot through the savannah of my country. In these regions I meet people who do not know how to read books. But they know how to read their world. In this universe of other knowledge, I am the illiterate one. I do not know how to read signs from the earth, trees and animals. I do not know how to read clouds, nor the signs of rain. I do not know how to talk to the dead, I have lost contact with the ancestors who grant us the sense of eternity. In these visits I make to the savannah, I learn sensibilities that help me to get out of myself and move away from my certainties. In this territory, I do not just have dreams. I am dreamable.
