La Revision de la Politica del Banco Mundial Sobre Pueblos Indigenas: Consultas Publicas
Información esencial para las organizaciones indígenas y activistas
octubre-diciembre de 2001 Forest Peoples Programme
World Rainforest Movement Esta nota informativa tiene como fin el presentar información resumida a las organizaciones indígenas y a la sociedad civil acerca de las inquietudes fundamentales que rodean la revisión corriente de la política del Banco Mundial sobre Pueblos Indígenas. La última parte de la nota indica donde se puede conseguir más información sobre este tema.
La importancia de una política efectiva sobre pueblos indígenas
La política del BM sobre Pueblos Indígenas es muy importante porque determina como el personal del Banco y sus prestatarios gubernamentales tratan con las comunidades indígenas afectadas por sus proyectos y programas de desarrollo. Las estipulaciones obligatorias que respetan los derechos indígenas son importantes porque constituyen un mecanismo que puede ser utilizado por la gente afectada para manifestar sus inquietudes frente al personal del Banco y los entes ejecutores. Si este proceso no da resultado, pueden presentar sus quejas al Panel de Inspección.
Los pueblos indígenas exigen una política de salvaguardia más eficaz
Durante las consultas anteriores en el año de 1998, los pueblos indígenas enviaron un mensaje claro al Banco de que cualquier política nueva tendría que ser más fuerte en lo que se refiere a los derechos a la tierra y el reconocimiento de los derechos consuetudinarios.

    As a junior version of Plotkin's tale on Suriname for adults (1), this well-illustrated book won't fail to inspire 8 to 10-year olds. The beautiful illustrations will put them right into the tropical rainforest and a riverine Indian village. The story is about the boy Kamanya and his eventually becoming the successor of a shaman, who once cured him with the help of medicinal plants. It shows the hard time such tribal communities may be given by gold diggers and missionaries, who serve as the bad guys in this story. It is the good guy, Gabriela, who restores tradition and bestowes the tribe with the first write-up of its own herbal medicine. Apart from providing the unfailing happy ending, the why's and how's of ethnobotany are thus disclosed in an age-adjusted manner. The fine drawings of 38 medical plants used by Tirio indians can serve as classroom material. (AVS) 1: Mark J. Plotkin, Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice, 1993, Penguin Books, New York.

Column nr.1 1999 G MEANDERING EVOLUTION I n my life time the evolution of the sport has been gradual in many respects, yet amazing in others. Thanks to the advent of space age materials and cutting edge manufacturing, the common man can enjoy the pulse raising power of a four pound rainbow slamming his store bought Royal Coachmen. The legion of contemporary fly fishers now includes a most welcome change, the gentler sex has discovered the Zen like contemplation inherent is very complimentary to their natural gentleness. My article on international super model Karen Graham now running in this webzine is a good case in point. Ms. Graham is also an accomplished guide in upstate New York (see " "). In the coming months many well schooled lady fly fishers will be spotlighted. One aspect of the sport that continues is the number of famous practitioners. In America wealthy industrialists, movie stars, athletes, and those with alittle too much money and free time can be found sipping 25 year old Scotch and tying their own mayflies inside warm and cozy 40 thousand dollar 4 wheel drives! We are lucky to still have among us many grand innovators and gods of the sport. My article on world renowned Walton Powell, one of the most famous Bamboo fly rod makers alive today ( see "

A major UN conference was told yesterday that up to a third of Europe's soil could eventually be affected. A fifth of Spanish land is so degraded that it is turning into desert, according to figures released for the first time yesterday, and in Italy tracts of land in the south are now abandoned and technically desert. Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece are the four EU countries already so badly affected that they have joined the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (CCD) which is meeting in Bonn this week.

"No Patents On Biotechnology Products:
Africa Defies Licenses For Life" By Franck Seuret and Robert Ali Brac de la Perriere
Le Monde Diplomatique
July 2000
No country is self-sufficient in biodiversity. The WTO is seeking an appropriate legal framework to encourage trade. But appropriate for whom? There's the rub. The intellectual property system, which champions the breeders' interests, is becoming an instrument of neo-colonialism. The Organisation of African Unity, offering an alternative that is in the public interest as well as its own, has taken the lead in new thinking about the exploitation of life. This is a story of sugar that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. A story of patents and piracy. In 1995 the University of Wisconsin took out four patents on brazzein, an extremely sweet tasting protein that researchers had isolated from the berry of a plant growing in Gabon. The university has since granted licences to exploit the patents to several biotechnology companies that hope to introduce a brazzein-producing gene into fruit and vegetables to obtain products that taste sweet but are less rich in calories. There are big profits in this, though not for small farmers in Gabon. They know all about the plant, they have always used it and their way of life and farming practices have helped to ensure its survival. But they will get nothing at all out of the plans to exploit it. The case of brazzein is by no means unusual. Every year, firms and universities in the countries of the North take out patents on plants grown or used in the countries of the South, without the consent of the parties concerned and without offering any financial consideration in return. To put an end to this biological piracy, the Scientific, Technical and Research Commission of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) has just produced model legislation for the recognition and protection of local communities, farmers and breeders, and for the regulation of access to genetic resources.

Redefining indigenous peoples
A group of Batwa (pygmies) from several east and central African countries are meeting in Kigali to fight discrimination in their respective homelands. The interesting part is that they are claiming rights as indigenous peoples under ILO Convention 169 as against the politically dominant Bantu majorities These rights have, until recently, been asserted almost exclusively against colonial settler populations rather than pre-colonial inhabitants. There now seems to be an increasing movement by the "first peoples" in various African regions to regard the ethnic groups who derive from the Bantu and Nilotic migrations as colonial settlers. The manifesto of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee , for instance, makes clear that the "indigenous peoples" are the hunter-gatherers and pastoralists who inhabited eastern and southern Africa before the migrations. It also makes clear that the indigenous peoples' primary grievances are against the Bantu-dominated post-colonial state structures, which often do not recognize their land rights or customary laws. At times, as in the ongoing Congolese civil war, these peoples have been subjected to outright massacres; one little-recognized facet of the 1994 Rwanda genocide is that a third of the Batwa population were killed along with hundreds of thousands of Tutsis.
