    Extractions: Denounce Maca Patents Extract of Andean Root Crop Patented for "Natural Viagra" Properties ETC 3jul02 Indigenous peoples’ and farmers’ organizations from the Andes and the Amazon gathered at the offices of the Ecological Forum in Lima, Peru on 28 June 2002 to formally denounce US patents on maca, the high-altitude Andean plant (of the Cruciferae [mustard] family) that has been grown for centuries by indigenous peoples in the Puna highlands of Peru, both as a staple food crop and for medicinal purposes. Today, maca-based products are commonly promoted as natural enhancers of sexual function and fertility, and demand for maca is growing in the U.S., Europe and Japan. While maca exports have the potential to create new markets and income for Peruvian farmers, recent U.S. patents related to maca may actually foreclose opportunity for the true innovators of the Andean crop. "The Andean region is becoming known as the ‘biopiracy capital’ of the world. We are deeply offended by monopoly patents on our food crops and medicinal plants," said Efraín Zúñiga Molina of the Association of Maca Producers of Valle del Mantaro. "We’ve seen patents on ayahuasca, quinoa, yacon, the nuña popping bean, and now maca," said Molina. "These patents claim novel inventions, but everyone knows they are based on the traditional knowledge and resources of indigenous peoples," said Gladis Vila Pihue, a representative of the maca growers association, Department of Huancavelica (Peru).

    Extractions: REMARKS IN MACHU PICCHU, PERU NEW YORK, 13 November (UN Headquarters) Following is the statement delivered by Secretary-General Kofi Annan on indigenous peoples in Machu Picchu, Peru, on 12 November: I would like to thank you (President Toledo) and Eliane for bringing Nane and me here. Here, amidst the peaks of the Andes in Peru, the enormous contributions of indigenous peoples to human civilization are everywhere on display from the sacred ruins of the Inca empire to the crops that grow on the mountainsides. In the jungles of the Amazon too, indigenous communities have lived for millennia in harmony with the rainforest, and they continue to do so today. And, throughout Latin America, one sees the extraordinary diversity of indigenous cultures and the potential contribution their knowledge and values can make to poverty eradication, sustainable agriculture, and indeed to our concept of life. From here in Peru to the Philippines, and from the deserts of Australia to the ice-covered lands of the Arctic circle, indigenous peoples have much to teach our world. But to come to the Andean region is also to appreciate how fragile the existence of many indigenous peoples is. In this region and in other parts of the world, too indigenous lands, waters, languages, health and cultures, long devastated by the legacy of colonial oppression, continue to be under grave threat. The environment is being destroyed and indigenous people are too often excluded from decisions that crucially affect the life of their communities. They suffer from prejudice, poverty, and disease. Some indigenous groups even face the terrible threat of extinction.

This genocide is a crime against humanity and violates international law as well as human and legal rights. This is a criminal invasion and it is killing innocent children, women and the elderly. It lacks any kind of legitimacy and cannot be justified as it violates all declarations to live in peace. It violates the self determination and sovereignty of peoples and the consensus reached by most states represented in the United Nations.

    Extractions: Falls Church, Virginia Abstract 1. Introduction In his famous dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928) , Justice Louis Brandeis called the right to be let alone "the most comprehensive of rights and the right most cherished by civilized men." Justice Brandeis's ruling could just as easily apply to the right of indigenous peoples to be let alone from intrusive central government "development" and surveillance programs. The increasing use of satellites to survey lands and oceans for natural resources comes at the expense of many indigenous peoples to freely conduct various activities on their ancestral lands. Many indigenous tribes maintain a certain kinship with the territory upon which they live. This kinship runs deep and in some cases has an important religious significance for the people concerned. 2. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and Indigenous Lands Indian leaders contend that those who operate GISs must be sensitive to the traditions surrounding their lands. Many Indian tribes feel that certain data must remain private and not be released to the general public. Data security and privacy controls therefore become problematic. Tribal officials such as the Colville Confederacy leadership feel that certain data cannot be treated as regular data. Information on hunting and gathering areas has a spiritual significance for the Indians that is perhaps unappreciated by statisticians in cold, gray and distant computer rooms (Marchand and Winchell, 1994, 51).

    Extractions: Project Cooperation Project Examples Indigenous mayors - an important step towards self-determination Here in Europe, what would the turnout at elections be like if we had to travel for two weeks to get to the nearest polling station to cast our vote? For us this sounds like a bad joke, but for many indigenous communities in Amazonia, this is the reality they face. As a result of this situation, public administration and politics are often dominated by non-indigenous people who have moved into the area, despite the fact that indigenous people make up the majority of the population. Consequently, there are many social conflicts relating to land use, where the indigenous people rarely have a look-in. Protecting the rainforest, moreover, is not usually on the list of priorities in the measures planned and executed by the local authorities. On the contrary, since many mayors are sponsored by businesses, they open up these regions for timber firms or oil companies to operate without controls, or for road-building or settlement by smallholders. In the Putumayo region in Peru, along the river of the same name that forms the border between Peru and Colombia, some indigenous people have to spend up to two weeks travelling in order to exercise their right to vote (indeed, in Peru voting is obligatory). Many therefore do not go to vote, even accepting that they will face a fine as a result, because the fine is less than the cost of making a journey lasting several days.

Support for the legitimate rights of indigenous populations and the strengthening of their organizations to secure acknowledgement of these rights are part of the efforts to fight poverty, safeguard human rights and consolidate democratic structures. Beyond that, the traditional indigenous peoples’ knowledge and their ways of managing systems that are ecologically fragile are of great importance for protecting the environment and natural resources. Indigenous peoples are particularly involved as specific target groups in programs and projects in the following priority areas of the German Development Cooperation:

    Extractions: View the Uncontacted People Photo Gallery: Go>> Tensions are high deep in the Peruvian Amazon where thousands of desperate farmers from high in the Andes mountains have descended to scratch out a living by logging Earth's last remaining stands of pristine mahogany. The area is believed to be home for several hundred indigenous people who have chosen to live exactly as their ancestors did thousands of years ago. Now the presence of the loggers may force them into unwanted contact and potentially lead to their demise. The isolated peoples have little resistance to common illnesses like the flu, which have killed thousands of indigenous peoples since contact began with the Europeans in the 1500s. For their own survival, those still alive have retreated deeper and deeper into the Amazon. "With all the development needs of society and government plans including roads, including oil development [and] hunger for wood, mainly mahogany, you have people entering and looking to the most isolated parts of the continent," said Enrique Ortiz, a senior program officer with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation in Washington, D.C.
