Jani Silva was born in the Colombian Amazon and has dedicated her life to defending the trees and land that are everyone's lifeblood. She has been with the Campesino farmers in Putumayo, a region in the south of the country that is bursting with a unique biodiversity, since she was 16. Defending the territory had dire consequences for Jani. She has been persecuted, intimidated by armed thugs and threatened with death. COVID-19 has made matters worse, confining activists to their homes and limiting their protection.
