   Extractions: COICA Coordinating Body for the Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin The Coordinating Body for the Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA) is a group that brings more than four hundred indigenous people together. It was founded in Lima Peru in 1982 in order for native people to be able to defend their rights, fight for the survival of their culture, and to exchange experiences in to find solutions to their various problems. Since 1992 COICA has made its headquarters in Quito, Ecuador. They have a Congress that meets every four years in order to make up policies and find new authorities. It is this group that comes up with official goals such as the desire to promote and develop the interaction between indigenous peoples and COICA members. They also want to be able to defend territorial restoration, indigenous peoples self-determination and the human rights of its members. An additional goal is to strengthen the unity for the region's indigenous peoples; and finally, to promote the cultural comeback and recuperation of the Amazon indigenous peoples. Today the group has accomplished such feats as allowing indigenous peoples to be educated in their native languages. They have also founded an Amazon Indigenous University. Both of these things are part of the push for recuperation and revalorization of traditional cultures.

Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (The Hague, Nov. 16th.) A delegation of indigenous representatives from 22 different countries, and 28 distinct cultures, is currently assisting the sixth session of the UN Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP6), presently being held in The Hague, Netherlands. The Indigenous Peoples (IP) delegates are attending the COP6 to advocate preservation of the fragile ecosystems on their lands which are suffering serious environmental damage as a result of global warming. The delegates are also demanding that the governmental representatives of the Parties recognize them as full participants in the negotiations, the executive decision-making, and the ultimate implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. The Second International Indigenous Forum on Climate Change was held the weekend preceding the COP6, on the 11th and 12th of November, so as to develop common points of negotiation to present at the Conference. The basis for ¨The Hague Declaration¨ (the informal name given to the document written by the IP representatives for COP6) was discussed at the aforementioned Forum and will be presented to the President and Secretariat of COP6 for subsequent widespread distribution to governments.

It is outrageous that public money would go to finance Enron and Shell given the Enron scandal, ongoing investigations of Enron by the U.S. Department of Justice, and egregious unresolved social and environmental impacts related to their other pipelines in Bolivia.

    Extractions: First announcement and call for papers and proposals - September 2001: Introduction: This international interdisciplinary congress will deal with the conservation of biodiversity in the Andes and Amazon Basin with focus on the countries Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. These countries are hosting an enormous cultural and natural diversity. The ecosystems are ranging from deserts to tropical forests. Between the two extremes there is a variety of plant formations: mangroves, lowland forests in the Amazon basin, tropical dry forests, relicts of Andean forests and scrub formations in the Paramo region. Biodiversity reaches its peak in the complex tropical mountain forests on the slopes of the Andes, which were declared as one of the "Biodiversity-Hotspots" world-wide (Nature, Vol. 403, February 2000). But all of the above mentioned ecosystems have in common, that they are threatened by logging, burning, grazing or other land-use activities. Although there is already a lot of knowledge about the importance and vulnerability of these ecosystems, the destruction is going on. The congress will provide a unique opportunity to join different groups being concerned with biodiversity: scientists, environmental organizations and local/indigenous people. The exchange of various viewpoints, requirements and knowledge, as well as the realization of the current deficits could facilitate the development of improved conservation strategies and a better management of the natural resources. Right now, the cooperation of science, NGOs and indigenous peoples is frequently insufficient. NGO representatives often do not know anything about the ongoing research in their working area, whereas indigenous peoples are sometimes not asked when management plans are established to protect special areas. For a long-term protection of biodiversity it is crucial to develop conservation strategies in a joint effort.

"We, the Indigenous Peoples, have been an integral part of the Amazon Biosphere for millennia. We used and cared for the resources of that biosphere with respect, because it is our home, and because we know that our survival and that of our future generations depend on it. "Our accumulated knowledge about the ecology of our home, our models for living within the Amazonian biosphere, our reverence and respect for the tropical forest and its other inhabitants, both plant and animal, are the keys to guaranteeing the future of the Amazon Basin, not only for our peoples, but also for all humanity.

    Extractions: Source The Inter-Ethnic Association of the Peruvian Rain Forest (AIDESEP), an association of 28 federations of indigenous peoples from Peru, has launched a program to restore the productivity and diversity of degraded fields and forests in their ancestral domain. The project site is near Pucalpa, which lies at the end of the Pucalpa-Lima highway, the only road linking the Amazon Basin to the rest of Peru. Since the highway was built during the mid-1960s, waves of colonists and land speculators have cleared the forests for farming and cattle ranching. In the process, the local indigenous peoples lost access to their ancestral lands. In response, AIDESEP has launched a campaign to secure land titles for those still living in forested areas and to reclaim their ancestral domain, much of which is now a wasteland of abandoned farms and low-productivity cattle pastures. In 1985, AIDESEP launched the HIFCO project to reclaim a 7.5-hectare parcel of abandoned cattle pasturean experiment in wresting food crops from marginal lands. German ecologists provided technical assistance during the first year. Since then, HIFCO has been totally managed and developed by the indigenous community, with modest international financial support. The abandoned pasture has become an ecological "Garden of Eden" that enjoys year-round production. Acidic soils have been restored, and crop yields have increased each year, surpassing those of nearby farms employing "modern" non-organic agriculture.

At the beginning the operations were planned to start in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. The main purpose of the PRIA has been to support appropriate conditions and opportunities, necessary to the survival, the cultural defence and the strengthening of the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin. To achieve this aim, PRIA established the following specific objectives: 1) to strengthen the Indigenous organisations through co-financing pilot initiatives, promoting and developing these pilot experiences with the full participation of the Indigenous communities and Organisations; and 2) to formulate development projects for Indigenous communities. The PRIA has been promoting: 1) the direct participation of Indigenous peoples during the different stages of the project cycle; 2) the direct allocation of funds to the Indigenous peoples, without the involvement of any intermediary Institution.
