"Land is for working, isn’t it? What are we gonna do if we don’t have land to work? What are my kids going do for living?Now with this government everything is bad. They want us to pay a fine for clearing the forest, something like $ 20.000! And you know what? They knew we where burning the forest, and who it was, because they look at us by satellite. So they can keep us under control.Now they are asking us to plant tree barriers to break the wind. It’s true that there’s lot of wind here, and that it rises up the sand and everything. But the real reason to plant these barriers, is so then the satellite could see us better!They just wanna control us. Now in this country there is everything for the Collas (Andean indigenous)... as the president is one of them! He doesn’t like us anymore." Daniel Olfen, 47
