    Extractions: LA QUETZAL, GUATEMALA Dams on the river, the Usumacinta, are part of an international initiative known as the Puebla-Panama Plan. The brainchild of Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada, the plan would channel $10 billion of foreign aid and local tax dollars to infrastructure projects stretching to Panama from the southern Mexican state of Puebla. Besides hydroelectricity, the plan includes seaports, highways, rail lines and more. The goal is to spur industrial development ranging from oil refineries to tree plantations to garment factories. Fox and the leaders of Central America's seven nations have rallied the construction industry and other business interests behind the plan, and a U.S.-dominated lending agency is spearheading the financing. Echoing the rhetoric behind the North American Free Trade Agreement and the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas, they promise "regional integration" and jobs for poor people. But indigenous leaders throughout the region say Puebla-Panama would only accelerate foreign plunder of their natural resources and wreak havoc on their cultures. Calling the plan one of the greatest threats since conquest, indigenous groups are forging coalitions to fight it. In La Quetzal, a March forum against Puebla-Panama drew representatives from 17 groups in five countries.

    Extractions: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE INFORMATION SOCIETY IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN: a framework for action Isabel Hernández y Silvia Calcagno at ECLAC. Joint research with The Institute for Connectivity in the Americas (ICA) Latin America is home to four hundred indigenous communities, composed of about 50 million people, the majority of whom suffer from various forms of discrimination due to their ethno-cultural background and survive under marginalized conditions that contrast with the modern world around them. Their economic exclusion is based on general discrimination , similar to that experienced by the impoverished strata in rural and urban environments; however, their marginalization is intensified due to the intolerance and ethno-cultural discrimination existing in the national societies of the region. The paradigm of economic globalization is sharpening the historical processes of social marginalization of the indigenous peoples. Meanwhile, in the cultural arena, a process of “homogenization” is beginning, which attempts to undermine the pluricultural identity of the continent, ignoring the fact that the construction of modern citizenship involves the challenge of reconciling the historical and cultural specific features of each community with world development and modernity. To promote indigenous involvement in the information society, it is necessary to define proposals of innovation and reparatory social policies, which strengthen indigenous attempts to overcome the challenge of information marginalization. The strategies to achieve this end come from the native people who have achieved greater levels of community cohesion and representation, direct and legitimate, in second- and third-tier organizations. In some cases, the non-indigenous political and civil societies start to support these processes, generally at the local level. However, as far as public policies are concerned, the consensus necessary to act in an integral and coordinated manner has not been reached. Such a consensus would join governmental forces with those of the international community and civil society associations, in order to stimulate the so-called “digital opportunity”.

    Extractions: Email: jcgodoy@proarca.org Central America is a narrow strip of land covering 533,000km , joining two continents and separating two oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific. It has a diverse range of habitats with nearctic and neotropical faunal and floral elements. In general terms, it includes the highlands of the interior with its volcanic chains, with humid forest and mountains, descending to the coastal plains of the Pacific Ocean which are narrow and dry, and the plains of the Caribbean coast, which are wide and very humid.

COPODEHUPA also works with other groups in a project which deals with the psychological trauma that people have suffered as a result of the invasion. Father Sanjur is currently Executive Secretary of the Central American coordination of Christian Base Communities. This year marks the seventh anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Panama. Did the invasion accomplish anything? The December 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama may have accomplished U.S. objectives, but it was a tragedy in economic and political terms for the Panamanian people, especially the poor. Many things are still unresolved. For example, a full accounting of lives lost has yet to be made; and those who lost homes and businesses have never been compensated, either by the Panamanian or by the U.S. governments.

    http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cup/catalog/data/023112/0231127820.HTM
    
    Extractions: People in Nature highlights South and Central American approaches to wildlife conservation and documents both the current state and the historical development of a Latin American conservation and management strategy. The book addresses the threats to biodiversity caused by ranching, habitat fragmentation, fishing, and hunting and critically assesses the potential benefits and risks of continued human use of wildlife. By making available in English research results originally presented in Spanish or Portuguese at the first five International Conferences on Wildlife Management and Conservation in Latin America and the Amazon, this book also reverses the traditional flow of information and innovation in conservation practices from North to South and Central America, providing North American and European researchers and conservationists with management solutions potentially applicable in their own regions.

    Extractions: The demanding precept of the Old Testament prophet Micah "to do justice" became the foundational point for the American Baptist Policy Statement on Native Americans in 1979. Our Christian commitment to full discipleship demands that we hear these words as an individual and a corporate call to action. We believe that we must be in communion with those who suffer from injustice and present a challenge to systems which directly or inadvertently perpetuate oppression. As the nation approaches public observances marking the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' first landing in the Western hemisphere, we are called to examine the forces which this event put into motion. This anniversary has surfaced the pain and intensified the sense of isolation for the indigenous people of the Americas. Thus, this is an opportunity for reflection and action as American Baptists.
