The Acre is Verde
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
It has much time I knew one called face Fabiano Wabane, of the nation Kaxinawa. Native of Acre.
It has some time, I knew the Orlando, Focal Young of the Acre.
It has little time, I knew the Jaycelene, born in the Acre and working in CTA. I also knew the Daniela, liveing in the Acre and working in the WWF. I knew then the Silmara, the Fernanda, the Natália… people who had been to find, in the Acre, new ways of life.

In this end of week, when finally it stows in the Acre, I knew a people bit. Natives of Acre; e also Amazonenses, Natives of São Paulo, Cariocas… I was there to be part of the Local Launching of the publication Youthful GEO Brazil, that it occurred in sixth, 06/06, in enigmatic and the beautiful one Library of the Forest Silva Marina, one day after the World-wide Day of the Environment, in the International Year of the Planet Land. Good time pra to be in the Acre, not?

E I knew, also, some other ways of life. Lives of that if they call “Peoples of the Forest“, governed for”Government of the Forest“, surrounded for “Forests” for all the sides - forests of trees, forests of sugar cane, forests of grass and forests even of cattle.

As a young taught to me Apurinã: "In the rivers it does not only have fish, as in the forests it does not only have trees".

But it was in Xapuri that I could know other cantos and enchantments of this forest.
If in Rio Branco I impressed myself with the simple, colored and empty beauty of the Gameleira, with the modern architecture and London Da Ponte of pedestrians on River Acre, it was in Xapuri that I could confer the flavor of an Acre city, although pitada of given fame, currently, for the revolutionary Chico Mendes. Xapuri is a solitary distant city 180 km of Rio Branco - way that I covered, of car, in way to the pastures, canaviais and, pra my surprise, a little of forest and seringueiras. In the truth, for historical justeza, we would have to say that it is Rio Branco that is distant of Xapuri. Still more in this year, where we complete 20 years of the death of Chico. The heart of the forest beats from there faster, sadder and prettier. After all, Acre revolution it saw in this city its epicenter - that it returned in the year of 1988 with the death of the ambientalista and cosmopolita seringueiro. In Xapuri I could, during the lunch in the Restaurant of Dona Vicência (likeable velhinha with more than 80 years, former-seringueira and current owner of a restaurant very known in the city; exit to the 13 years of the Ceará, having covered the way during 11 months with the family, liveed during 34 years in the seringal San Francisco Iracema, distant of Xapuri 12 hours of boat), to know a figure folclórica of the city: Joscires, a young bureaucrat who has in its blog weapon to make joke and politics. It was also in Xapuri that reencontrei an friend-artist, born close to Pretty (MS), that it is now liveing in the Acre pra to make of the mixture of ideas and people, socioambiental and cultural movement. Pra to make what it knows to make, at last: art. Art in the Ruin, pra to say well. It confers the result in blog of the movement. Call for Son of the Man, Elenira, working in the Chico Foundation Mendes and supporting the activities of House of Reading, Wagner is one of those people to who valley to also give heard and a hand - it does not go to leave the world as he found. E, for speaking in giving heard, same valley to give heard - and very of its time and its heart - for the “Goddess”, the affectionate and conversadeira Deusamar, that very received me well in the Foundation. Married with the brother of the Chico, it really it has much history pra to count… e, if to know to make the questions, it counts exactly!

Coming back for almost the 200 km that separated to me of the center of Rio Branco, I arrived at the party of anniversary of the Chica Godmother (likeable and active other velhinha who, of high of its almost the 80 years, commanded the ceremony). Guest for fardados friends, to who I am grateful, I could see in the same day another mysterious face of the forest - and prove that in the forest it does not only have tree. One another friend already had passed for Small boat, and its story funny it leaves clearly that it is with favour, mood and with a dose of skepticism, folloied for the dose of Daime, that we - the neophytes - enter in bailados of the Center Espírita de Caridade Espadarte Prince. One dances entusiasmante and showy: butuques pra all the gostos. Music pra if to dance and pra if not to listen. Music pra to enter in the body, and not in the ears. Music that touched the night all - long and slowly - of the served drink in contrast, that is pra to go down fast for the throat. He is not pra to appreciate, leaving itself to inebriate to the few, of light, deeply, but pra to fulfill the moment ritual. Ritual by the way, well Brazilian and registered well - with antropológicas teses e all more.

Dress all of white, sweated, tired, with cold, hunger, and happy and very calm, to 7h of the morning, finally the day finished - and with the photo to the side I could evidence, at last, that “The Acre is not ocre, the Acre is green"!
