The Organization of Indigenous Peoples of the Colombian Amazon (OPIAC) requests the support of bodies supporting human rights, along with non-governmental organizations, governments and indigenous communities around the world in order for the Colombian government to comply with the mandate by the [federal Constitutional] Court. According to the court, the government must consult with indigenous peoples in accordance with ILO Convention 169 in regards to the herbicidal fumigation of illicit crops in indigenous peoples territories. It is essential for the indigenous peoples of the Colombian Amazon that this practice be terminated as it is detrimental to their health, bio-diversity and cultural diversity, and causes great damage to their ancestral territory. 1. The Organization of Indigenous Peoples of the Colombian Amazon (OPIAC) has, since 2001, placed orders in the Colombian high court against various Colombian authorities with the hope that the judicial body would protect indigenous peoples' most fundamental rights to life including health, personal development, cultural integrity, civil participation, due process of law, and a clean, safe environment.

    Extractions: In Depth The Amazon in Danger Could the vast Amazon rain forest disappear from the face of the Earth during our lifetimes? Some scientists now maintain that the forest itselfnot to mention the many thousands of plant, animal, bird, and insect species that call it homeis in imminent danger of extinction. A new mathematical model by an American researcher, presented at a 2001 Geology Society conference in Scotland, suggests that the destruction of Amazonian rain forests could be irreversible in as few as 10 years, and forecasts the whole-scale destruction of Brazil's rain forest in 40 or 50 years. The primary threats to Peru's tropical forests are deforestation caused by agricultural expansion, cattle ranching, logging, oil extraction and spills, mining, illegal coca farming, and colonization initiatives. Deforestation has shrunk territories belonging to indigenous peoples and wiped out more than 90% of the population. In the southern Amazon's Madre de Dios department, 3 decades of gold prospecting have pushed isolated Mashco-Piros, Amahuaca, Yaminahuas, and Yora tribes to the edge of extinction. Along with the threats to communities comes cultural extinction: Knowledge of plants and natural medicines, traditional ways of life, and even languages are lost. In Peru's Amazon jungle, new languages are being discovered even as others become extinct. Once-isolated communities in the jungle spoke up to 150 languages; today, only 57 survive and 25 of them are in danger of extinction, according to the Summer Institute of Linguistics.

Assembly of First Nations Historically the First Nations have a unique and special relationship with the Crown and the people of Canada, as manifested in treaties and other historical documents. In essence, the special relationship is one of (negotiated agreement with a view toward) peaceful coexistence based on equitable sharing of lands and resources, and ultimately on respect, recognition, and enforcement of our respective right to govern ourselves. The AFN exists to promote the "restoration and enhancement" of this relationship and to ensure that it is mutually beneficial to the First Nations people. The Assembly of First Nations is a national aboriginal lobby organization.

    Extractions: BRAZIL DOS PRIMEIROS: AN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES PROTECTS ITS OWN LANDS THE AMAZON RAINFOREST The Amazon basin accounts for one-third of the world's tropical forests. The Brazilian Amazon covers between 3 and 4 million square kilometers, an area approximately twenty-two times the size of Ohio. When the entire forest is considered, with its extensions into Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, the area considered is equivalent to half the continental United States. It is home to one-fifth of the world's plant and animal species. Both the environment and its inhabitants are in peril. Biologists estimate that 10,000 animal and plant species are lost every year. At present, in Brazil, over 100 animal and 60 plant species are declared rare and threatened (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, ODC). This class will COURSE EXPECTATIONS This three-credit course can be taken as ANTH468Z/LASC448Z- Special Topics in Cultural Anthropology: Native Peoples and Landscapes of the Brazilian Amazon or as ANTH688Z- New Models in Indigenous Peoples and Forest Preservation.

    Extractions: As this series of On the Record goes out, it is still unclear how much land will be leased. For most of 2001 it had been assumed that 13 new 'blocks' would be auctioned, 11 of which would be in the Amazon. Just before Christmas came word that the area would be reduced, and the number of new blocks could be as few as four, perhaps with another four offshore. The final decision is expected soon. If the past is any indication, any new exploitation will be too much. Certainly, it will bring large amounts of foreign investment to Ecuador, but the benefits will likely be offset by the destruction of natural resources, the loss of Ecuador's indigenous culture, and the increased impoverishment of its people.

Large projects (streets, dams) and the exploitation of natural resources (mineral oil, wood, gold, etc.) add to the pressure. Indigenous peoples are often victims of military conflicts in their villages (e.g. in Colombia) and are marginalized in many countries in spite of legal recognition. At the same time, the indigenous organizations have gained in strength and importance in all countries of the Amazon. They have become important contacts and discussion partners when it comes to indigenous issues.

Chris Allan from the Global Greengrants Fund answered, "educating other funders on the importance of Indigenous issues and how badly they are neglected by foundations. Also, to help funders understand how Indigenous issues are intimately related to other issues we are already working on, and creating mechanisms to lower the barriers to both Indigenous organizations and foundations to making good grants." For Atossa, the two most significant ideas that came out of the meeting were: how to expand the network of funders who consider funding Indigenous peoples issues, this included reaching out to other foundation networks such as human rights, environment, social justice; and sustainable development affinity groups and how to increase the foundation fundraising capacity of Indigenous grantees. The gathering was made possible with financial support from the Skoll, Levi Strauss, Rockefeller, Ford, and Garfield Foundations.

    Extractions: by Vasco von Roomsmalen and Mark Plotkin For much of the past 15 years, the Amazon has been the subject of extraordinary attention by both the media and by environmental organizations. Many millions of dollars have been spent to "save" the Amazon. Yet this magnificent ecosystem the "greatest expression of life on Earth" according to Dr. Tom Lovejoy, an authority on Amazonia is still threatened. Why? For the most part, the original threats to the forest remain in place: poverty, population growth, greed, short-term planning. Nonetheless, some successes have been achieved. National park systems are found in every tropical South American country, except Guyana. The environment is now discussed at most high-level meetings. And the growth (and projected growth) of ecotourism has been extremely encouraging. But what are we destroying? Do we really know? Mammals exemplify how much we already know and how much we still have to learn. Scientists recently began working in an area the size of France where no investigator had done any serious research since Alfred Wallace 's studies in the 1880s. Because of its high biodiversity spread over many 'islands' isolated by large river systems, research in this area led Wallace to formulate his ideas of the theory of evolution. Yet we STILL know little about many of the animals that live there! Over eight new species of monkey, a new species of peccary and perhaps even a new species of jaguar have been discovered in the past three ears despite the fact that Amazonian mammals are much better known than any other group of organisms!
