1. CHAPTER THREE - AN ECOLOGICAL DREAM
This dream made of water
The cry of the Amazon region
The prophecy of contemplation
Ecological education and habits
2. “alongside the ecology of nature, there exists
what can be called a ‘human’ ecology which in turn
demands a ‘social’ ecology. QA 41
3. The wisdom of the original peoples of the Amazon region
“inspires care and respect for creation, with a clear consciousness
of its limits, and prohibits its abuse. QA 42
4. This dream
made of water
In the Amazon
region, water is
queen; the rivers
and streams are
like veins, and water
determines every
form of life:
QA 43
5. Popular poets, enamoured of its immense beauty,
have tried to express the feelings this river evokes
and the life that it bestows as it passes amid a dance
of dolphins, anacondas, trees and canoes QA 46
6. The cry of the Amazon region
a dazzling diversity of woodlands on which rain
cycles, climate balance, and a great variety of
living beings also depend. It serves as a great
filter of carbon dioxide, which helps avoid the
warming of the earth. QA 48
7. For the most part, its surface is poor in topsoil,
with the result that the forest “really grows
on the soil and not from the soil”. QA 48
8. When the forest is eliminated, it is not replaced,
because all that is left is a terrain with few nutrients that
then turns into a dry land or one poor in vegetation. QA 48
9. The lowlands and marine vegetation also need to
be fertilized by the alluvium of the Amazon QA 48
10. There is a crucial need to realize that “the good functioning
of ecosystems also requires fungi, algae, worms, insects,
Reptiles and an innumerable variety of microorganisms. QA 49
11. the water that abounds in the Amazon region is
an essential good for human survival, yet the sources
of pollution are increasing.QA 49
12.
13. “we cannot fail to praise the
commitment of international
agencies and civil society
organizations which draw
public attention to these
issues and offer critical
cooperation, employing
legitimate means of pressure,
to ensure that each
government carries out its
proper and inalienable
responsibility to preserve its
country’s environment and
natural resources, without
capitulating to spurious local
or international interests QA50
14. it is good to combine
ancestral wisdom with
contemporary technical
knowledge, always
working for a sustainable
management of the land
while also preserving the
lifestyle and value
systems of those
who live there. QA 51
15. all of us should insist on the urgent need to establish
“a legal framework which can set clear boundaries
and ensure the protection of ecosystems…
otherwise, the new power structures based on
the techno-economic paradigm may overwhelm
not only our politics, but also freedom and justice”.QA52
16. The prophecy of contemplation - Frequently we let our
consciences be deadened, since “distractions constantly dull our
realization of just how limited and finite our world really is. QA 53
17. each distinct species has a value in itself, yet “each year sees the disappearance
of thousands of plant and animal species which we will never know, QA 54
18. thousands of species will no longer give glory to God by their very existence,
nor convey their message to us. We have no such right QA 54
19. From the original peoples, we can learn
to contemplate the Amazon region and
not simply analyze it, and thus appreciate
this precious mystery
that transcends us
QA 55
23. We can love it,
not simply use it,
with the result that
love can awaken a
deep and sincere
interest. Even more,
we can feel intimately
a part of it and not
only defend it; then
the Amazon region
will once more
become like a mother
to us. QA 55
24. n
if we enter into communion with the forest,
our voices will easily blend with its own
and become a prayer: QA 56
25. For Christians, Jesus himself cries out to us from their midst, “because the risen One is
mysteriously holding them to himself and directing them towards fullness as their end.
The very flowers of the field and the birds which his human eyes contemplated
and admired are now imbued with his radiant presence QA 57
26.
27. Ecological education and habits
The best ecology always has an educational
dimension that can encourage the development
of new habits in individuals and groups. QA 58
28. A sound and sustainable ecology, one capable of bringing about
change, will not develop unless people are changed, unless they are
encouraged to opt for another style of life, one less greedy and more
serene, more respectful and less anxious, more fraternal. QA 58
29. . The Church, with her
- broad spiritual experience,
- her renewed appreciation
of the value of creation,
- her concern for justice,
her option for the poor,
- her educational tradition
- and her history of becoming
incarnate in so many different
cultures throughout the world,
also desires to contribute to
the protection and growth
of the Amazon region. QA 60
