Amazon River DolphinKnown as boto-vermelho – (Inia geoffrensis). Cetaceans that live in rivers and lakes in the Amazon. Their behavior is similar to that of dolphins. One of the most common legends that refer to the animal is that it transforms itself into a well-dressed and handsome young man who goes to parties along the river where he seduces girls. Before dawn, it flees and returns to the river or lake where it transforms back into a dolphin. In his expedition, Jacques Cousteau gave it the name “pink”. In the Amazonian tradition, however, it is known as the “red” dolphin. It usually roams alone or in pairs and often approaches humans, even when fishing. The other Amazon dolphin, the Tucuxi boto (Sotalia fluviatilis), has a darker back. is smaller and more shy. More (Inia geoffrensis)
It is recognized that dolphins modify their behavior in the presence of humans, especially with children and pregnant women, who in turn react with a more intense and confident relationship, among other beneficial and healing effects. Yes, I can also affirm from personal experience that the initial shyness of the child quickly turns into a great desire to play and stroke the shiny mammal. This change in behavior was probably measured in some deeper study: the intensity and frequency of the ultrasound emitted by this impressive being act on human emotions and behavior. I am talking here about a benevolent attitude directed towards humans, and news reports are full of stories about someone who was saved by a dolphin and, even more, about the surprising intelligence of these aquatic mammals.

Mutual trust
Amazon River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis)
Reciprocal interaction has been demonstrated with and without devices. Dear reader, observe the spontaneous, sincere interaction… the two actors surrender to each other and participate in the game without conditions… I observed this beyond the photograph, which only captured a moment and wanted to summarize in this frame a situation of great emotional intensity… I wonder how much longer it will take to overcome centuries of erroneous education. If I recall my childhood, I can always perceive a distance and even hostility towards nature: I assume that I was subjected to misguided education, whether in my family or in school, based on the belief that nature is an enemy or at least hostile. I am moving away from that belief! I trust in an ancestral heritage that operates behind the scenes, another type of intuitive education that is emerging. It involves other values, looking at nature as a child looks at the mother who nurtures him/her.
While current social coexistence persists on the suicidal line of confrontation, generating nature deficit disorders, there is a personal choice to be made, without delay, without further doubts, because nature does not need humanity to exist, quite the contrary, humanity needs nature to exist.
Thus, two fundamental and decisive principles emerge: humans need nature, and nature loves humanity as a mother loves her child. The identification of these two principles cannot wait for institutional positioning. This is an individual change that arises in the consciousness of each one and multiplies always at the individual level until the assimilation of the social fabric.
