We are lovers of body art. We provide kits for beautiful and long lasting henna and jagua temporary tattoos. There is no PPD in Earth Henna products -- only pure henna from a Moroccan farm, and superior-quality jagua juice from the Amazon!
History Established in 1996. In 1996, we I opened the first temporary henna tattoo studio in the US. We wanted to provide an easy-to-use henna tattoo kit for home use. The search for good-quality henna took us to the outer limits of the Sahara desert, where I met a Berber family of henna farmers in Morocco. I watched them harvest the plant and bring it to the mill then sift through them to ensure a flawless application. After working tirelessly to find the best recipe, and going through cosmological testing. Our henna came back 100% approved, we threw a party! Thus was born our flagship product, the Original Earth Henna Body Painting Kit. Popular as this product was, we still searched for a temporary tattoo that presented a black stain. My journey to find the solution led me to the Matsés Indians deep in the heart of the jungle. After being introduced to the Jagua fruit, we again found a way to package the jagua extract and test it for safety. Thus was born the Earth Jagua Black Temporary tattoo kit!
Carine Fabius was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. At the age of eight, she moved with her family to New York, where she grew up until she heard the call of Miami's warm ocean and clear blue skies.

amazon jungle tours,
amazon jungle tours,
Nestled deep within the heart of South America lies a realm of unparalleled biodiversity and natural splendor - the Amazon Rainforest. For intrepid travelers seeking a journey off the beaten path and into the embrace of nature's raw majesty, a trip to the Amazon promises an unforgettable adventure.
The Amazon: A Natural Wonder
Spanning over 5.5 million square kilometers, the Amazon Rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest on Earth, encompassing nine countries including Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. Its sheer expanse is staggering, holding an estimated 390 billion individual trees, providing a habitat for millions of species of plants, animals, and insects.
Encounters with Wildlife
One of the most alluring aspects of a trip to the Amazon is the opportunity to encounter its diverse wildlife. From colorful macaws soaring overhead to elusive jaguars prowling through the undergrowth, the rainforest teems with life at every turn. Guided excursions offer the chance to spot iconic species such as sloths, capybaras, and pink river dolphins, while nighttime jungle treks unveil a different world altogether, where nocturnal creatures like tree frogs and owls come to life under the cover of darkness.
Immersive Cultural Experiences
Beyond its natural wonders, the Amazon is also home to vibrant indigenous communities, each with its own rich traditions and customs. Travelers can engage in cultural exchanges with tribes such as the Yanomami, Matsés, and Kayapo, learning about their ancient ways of life, traditional crafts, and spiritual beliefs. These encounters provide a profound insight into the deep connection between indigenous peoples and the natural world, fostering a greater appreciation for the delicate balance of life in the rainforest.
Adventure and Exploration
For those with a spirit of adventure, the Amazon offers a plethora of thrilling activities to satisfy every adrenaline-seeker. Navigate through winding waterways on a canoe expedition, surrounded by towering trees and echoing with the calls of exotic birds. Embark on a jungle hike, traversing lush trails in search of hidden waterfalls and panoramic vistas. For the truly daring, embark on a multi-day trek deep into the heart of the rainforest, camping under the stars and forging a path through untamed wilderness.
Conservation and Sustainability
As awareness of the Amazon's ecological importance grows, many tour operators and lodges are committed to sustainable practices aimed at preserving this precious ecosystem for future generations. Responsible tourism initiatives focus on minimizing environmental impact, supporting local communities, and raising awareness about the need for conservation efforts. By choosing eco-friendly tour operators and accommodations, travelers can contribute to the protection of the Amazon while enjoying an authentic and enriching experience.
Conclusion
A journey to the Amazon Rainforest is more than just a vacation - it's a transformative odyssey into the heart of nature itself. With its breathtaking landscapes, unparalleled biodiversity, and vibrant cultures, the Amazon offers an adventure like no other, where every moment is an opportunity to connect with the wonders of the natural world. So pack your bags, leave the familiar behind, and prepare for an expedition into the untamed beauty of the Amazon Rainforest.

Dialogues with Plants by Florence Goupil.
Environmental defenders and Indigenous healers in Peru are risking their lives to protect their last spiritual connection to the Amazon’s biodiversity. The Asháninka, Bora and Matsés healers maintain that their expertise in the specific uses of plants is the result of dialogues with the spirits of the plants themselves. But the Amazon’s Indigenous people are disappearing and, along with them, their unique body of knowledge about the region’s rarest plants.
The theme of the sixth edition of the Helsinki Photo Festival is courage.

"A section of Peru’s Congress with ties to the oil and gas industry has introduced a bill that would devastate the country’s uncontacted tribes if it’s approved.
The bill aims to:
    •    Make it possible to revoke already-established Indigenous reserves for uncontacted and recently-contacted tribes (who are collectively known in Peru by the acronym PIACI).     •    Open the territories of uncontacted tribes to oil and gas drilling, logging and mining.     •    Block the creation of desperately-needed reserves for uncontacted tribes whose territories currently have no protection.
The bill’s consequences would be so serious Indigenous organizations there are calling it the Genocide Bill.
Daniel Vela, a Matsés leader, says, “We’ve seen and heard the uncontacted people, we know they’re there. Those who are backing this bill talk about ‘development’, but it’s really the destruction of the forests we live in.”"
Note the email is already prewritten and sent from the site. It's basically just a petition.

LUCIEN by Daielle Gomes is NOW LIVE!
#1ClickHere: https://amzn.to/3xhBn7I
After discovering Dr. Lucien Sabara's sinister plot to alter future generations of humankind through genetic manipulation, Dr. Gabrielle Gale and Lt. Christopher Silver must continue their fight to stop the plans of this ruthless scientist at all costs.
In a time of pandemics and disease, the ailing world finds itself on its knees, desperate for the cure promised by leading geneticist Dr. Lucien Sabara. With his simple EVE-0 treatment, he seemingly offers an answer to the world's prayers. Though, as Gabrielle and Chris learn, the geneticist's true agenda is to play God over humankind, forcing women to require medical intervention to conceive, allowing Lucien to edit unborn embryos in order to create a better race, a more equal race, a more EVOLVED race.
Having joined forces with the Amazonian Matsés people, Gabrielle and Chris must thwart Sabara's plans to create a "better" human race. But as Gabrielle uncovers more details of the geneticist's plan, she must face her own moral dilemma. As she wrestles with her own questions of ethics, Gabrielle must decide if saving humanity is worth sacrificing the very thing that makes us human.

The UN declared today, International Indigenous Peoples Day. So I’m showing my support by sharing this with you. This is a woman from the Matsés tribe, located between Peru and Brazil in the Amazon rainforest. Like many indigenous tribes their ancestral lands are being destroyed and stripped from them due to illegal logging, poaching, mining and oil drilling. It is estimated that there are 15 uncontacted tribes in Peru, all who face a bleak future if their a ancestral lands aren’t protected. But you can make a difference by writing to your Senators and members of congress or donating to organizations that are fighting for #IndigenousRights .

" En 2019, cinquante ans après leurs premiers contacts avec ledit "monde extérieur" (des missionnaires), les Matsés ont achevé de cartographier - dans leur langue - l'étendue de leurs terres, soit environ 15 000 km2,.. Régulièrement menacés par la déforestation et par des projets d'exploration pétrolière - comme les Kichwas de Sarayaku, en Equateur - les Matsés veulent s'assurer de pouvoir transmettre leurs connaissances traditionnelles aux générations futures. Leurs cartes recensent les villages ancestraux et les lieux de sépulture, ainsi que les noms des voies navigables. Les sites de chasse, de pêche et de cueillette ont également été identifiés... Dans le même esprit, le peuple matsé a créé en 2015 une encyclopédie chamanique de médecine traditionnelle : 500 pages (1000 depuis le tome 2 en 2017) consacrées aux plantes médicinales de la forêt, rédigées uniquement dans leur langue pour éviter la biopiraterie."

I quickly stumbled across a reference to a study of the Native American Navajo, which found that the Navajo had classified over 700 insects and stored the entire classification in memory. I had no doubt this was exaggeration, but I simply had to get that study to be sure. There was not, as far as I could detect, a single copy in Australia. The academic librarians at La Trobe University did those impressive things that only university librarians know how to do and tracked down a copy in the United States. Three months later, I had an original copy of Navaho Indian Ethnoentomology by Leyland C. Wyman and Flora L. Bailey, published in 1964. I suspect this particular copy had not seen the light of day since—the musty smell was almost overpowering.
But there it was: page after page, 701 insects, each with their Navajo name—genus and species—and a bit of information about each. The Western classifications followed, which were remarkably similar. Wyman and Bailey also pointed out that the Navajo made these classifications because they sought knowledge for knowledge’s sake: only a few species were noted because they are ‘botherers’—lice, sheep ticks, flies, gnats, mosquitoes or pesky ants—or eaten, the cicada. The authors commented on the remarkably accurate observations of insect behaviour and their habitats. They also referred to the way the information is stored—in mythology, in sand paintings, and as metaphors for many aspects of the culture. (A long list of Western entomologists were thanked by name for their contributions. The unnamed indigenous ‘informants’ were acknowledged as a group, none as individuals.)
And that’s just insects. Mention was made of the Navajo’s extensive knowledge of birds, plants and every other aspect of the environment. And it was all stored in memory.
Studies like this are very hard to find because they require a whole team of scientists, linguists and indigenous experts working together for a very long time, and in incredible detail, across cultural barriers. I gradually managed to find examples from cultures across the world. The Hanunóo in the Philippines classified 1625 plants, many more than known by the Western scientists in the team. The Matsés peoples of Brazil and Peru recently recorded their traditional medicine in a 500-page encyclopedia, all from memory. For months, I was enthralled by research about the Pacific navigators and the vast amount of knowledge and training they needed to cross thousands of miles of open ocean. Then there are the incredibly complicated scientific knowledge and lengthy genealogies of the Māori of New Zealand.

Journey Through Languages project: languages of South America
Well, I think I’ve outdone myself in terms of how many language families plus independent languages I’ve put on one list, but I really wanted this list to be my last in this project, which I never expected to stretch into my transition to a new country and a new job (much as I’m not tired of it and will miss it). I was surprised at finding around 50 families listed for South America when my (admittedly very dated) Kenneth Katzner book lumps the relatively few languages it recognizes into only three families. Apparently some groupings of allegedly related languages have been broken up in recent decades due to lack of evidence of relatedness, and the result is a whole bunch of families which are mostly very small. I only included the ones that seem to have significant numbers of speakers here. I made a pretension to myself of ordering them according to geography, but this is somewhat haphazard (I’m so bad at geography that I had to keep a map of South America up on my phone to constantly reference) and was calculated to end up with a particular very-famous-to-linguists language as the grand finale.
