Pope Francis met with one of the most active Amazonian leaders. Raoni Metuktire, leader of the Kayap\u00f3 people, came to the Vatican with his son.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS The pope wanted to exchange points of view with Raoni and lay groundwork for the upcoming October Amazon Synod. <\/p>\n \u201cHere is the entire Amazon. Here is the town of Raoni. It is here; it is here, and the village of Tap\u00ed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHere you can see the deforestation. All of this. The zone that is still healthy is the one they protect.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n As a gift, the indigenous leader gave Pope Francis his biography. The pope in return gave him some medals and documents relating to his pontificate. <\/p>\n Pope Francis affectionately bid him farewell. <\/p>\n 'Take care.'<\/em><\/p>\n He also hugged him.<\/p>\n For decades, Raoni has been traveling all over the world to raise awareness about the danger of deforestation in the Amazon. <\/p>\n Throughout all of this campaigning, he has been supported by former French president Jacques Chirac and musician \u201cSting\u201d. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 27, 2019.
