"Our ancestral land contains forests, rattan, birds, monkeys and other wildlife. We defend them because they are our food. That is why the earth is sacred to us. The mountains are our cathedrals. The earth is filled with life: bees, wild pigs, birds, monkeys, trees, fish and wild chickens. This gives abundance to our lives. The earth is our parent: it is our father and mother who helps us grow and wakes us from our sleep. The earth is dear to our bodies."
- Datu Mampadayag
