Despite this, says Indigenous leader Julio Cusurichi, \u201cwe suffer persecution, we are denounced, and [governments] are trying to promote regulations that would promote genocide of Indigenous peoples in isolation.\u201d Cusurichi is a member of the Interethnic Association for the Development of the Peruvian Forest (Aidesep), which represents Indigenous peoples across Peru, and pushes for compliance with the laws and regulations that protect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"50052642\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>These regulations, however, are not completely secure, creating concern among Indigenous representatives, as a recent case has highlighted. At the end of June, the Peruvian Congress debated Bill 3518, which sought to take functions away from the Ministry of Culture \u2013 which oversees protection of Indigenous populations \u2013 and hand them over to regional governments, many of which are in favour of promoting economic activities and infrastructure projects in Indigenous reserves and protected territories for peoples in isolation and initial contact. After widespread calls to prevent the bill\u2019s passing, including from activist <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ideele\/status\/1672255701043822595\">Greta Thunberg<\/a> and Hulk actor <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarkRuffalo\/status\/1671271456808873985\">Mark Ruffalo<\/a>, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actualidadambiental.pe\/archivan-proyecto-de-ley-que-amenazaba-la-vida-de-los-indigenas-en-aislamiento\/\">shelved<\/a>, but Indigenous organisations say the pressure will not stop here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-colombia-victims-of-violence\">Colombia: Victims of violence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year saw the highest ever levels of violence against Indigenous communities in Colombia. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onic.org.co\/images\/CO-INFO-20230102-informe_final_afectaciones_DDHH_pueblos_indigenas_ONIC.pdf\">National Indigenous Organisation of Colombia<\/a> (ONIC), there were reportedly 453,018 victims of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrc.no\/news\/2022\/november\/six-years-after-colombia-peace-deal-armed-groups-keep-over-100000-in-forced-confinement\/\">confinement<\/a> (linked to ongoing armed conflicts), displacement, territorial violations, threats and deaths. The Institute for Development and Peace Studies (Indepaz) reported that in the same year 42 Indigenous leaders were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/america\/colombia\/2023\/01\/07\/poblacion-indigena-fue-la-mas-violentada-en-2022-42-de-sus-lideres-fueron-asesinados\/\">assassinated<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the pro-Amazon discourse of President Gustavo Petro, who took office last year, these difficulties have continued. In recent weeks, around 5,000 Indigenous Aw\u00e1 people have reportedly been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvazteca.com\/aztecanoticias\/cinco-mil-desplazados-por-combates-en-colombia\">displaced<\/a> from their territories in southwest Colombia due to violence between the National Liberation Army (ELN) and dissidents from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), which formally dissolved in 2017 following a peace deal. In the midst of this violent situation, Indigenous populations are among the most affected: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.minsalud.gov.co\/sites\/rid\/Lists\/BibliotecaDigital\/RIDE\/DE\/PS\/boletines-poblacionales-poblacion-indigena.pdf\">19% of the victims<\/a> of the armed conflict are reportedly Indigenous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image block--article-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"hide-expand block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20190717_Delegation-of-the-Waorani-Baihuari-people_Flickr_48309294896_99f4380a20_o-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20190717_Delegation-of-the-Waorani-Baihuari-people_Flickr_48309294896_99f4380a20_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20190717_Delegation-of-the-Waorani-Baihuari-people_Flickr_48309294896_99f4380a20_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20190717_Delegation-of-the-Waorani-Baihuari-people_Flickr_48309294896_99f4380a20_o-scaled.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"Group of Waorani Baihuari people \"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">A delegation of the Waorani Baihuari people at the biodiversity commission of Ecuador\u2019s national assembly in 2019.

Indigenous representatives claim that oil companies are dividing the communities impacted by the work in <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/extractive-industries\/52121-ecuadors-yasuni-national-park-between-oil-exploitation-and-conservation\/\">Block 43-ITT<\/a> (Ishpingo, Tambococha and Tiputini), which accounts for 11% of national oil production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, two of the seven communities whose lands are impacted by the block are known to be in favour. \u201cIt has given us development, health and education,\u201d Lauro Papa, representative of the Boca Tiputini community, recently told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swissinfo.ch\/spa\/ecuador-petr%C3%B3leo_comunidades-ind%C3%ADgenas-de-ecuador-rechazan-plebiscito-para-prohibir-petr%C3%B3leo-en-sus-tierras\/48612384#:~:text=Por%20su%20parte%2C%20Panenky%20Ohe,el%20ingreso%20de%20la%20petrolera.\">EFE<\/a>. Together with the Kawymeno community, they want oil extraction to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Juan Bay, president of the Waorani Nation said his community will vote to end of these activities, expressing concern about \u201cthe oil industry\u2019s bad habit\u201d of dividing the communities. \u201cWe call for the unity of the peoples,\u201d he said, reaffirming that \u201cYasun\u00ed is a emblem of Amazonian biodiversity and the lands of peoples in voluntary isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bolivia-worrying-pollution\">Bolivia: Worrying pollution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/s.france24.com\/media\/display\/9fdb2b7c-0f9c-11ee-8ade-005056a90284\/DOCUMENTO%20AN%C3%81LISIS%20DE%20NIVELES%20DE%20CONTAMINACI%C3%93N%20POR%20MERCURIO%20EN%20COMUNIDADES%20IND%C3%8DGENAS%20RIBERE%C3%91AS%20ASENTADAS%20A%20LO%20LARGO%20DEL%20R%C3%8DO%20BENIcp%20(1)%20(6)_compressed.pdf\">recent study<\/a> in Bolivia showed how Indigenous populations in the Amazon region of La Paz have been contaminated by mercury due to gold mining activities. The research, led by the Centre for Indigenous Peoples of La Paz (CPILAP) and the Higher University of San Andr\u00e9s (UMSA), analysed 302 people from the Esse Ejjas, T&#8217;simanes, Tacanas, Mosetenes, Lecos and Uchupiamonas ethnic groups, all of whom are impacted by this mining activity. A presence of mercury above acceptable levels was detected in 74.5% of the people tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is urgent to take health measures to help control these effects,\u201d said CPILAP leader Gonzalo Oliver, who called for help to reverse this situation and demanded that the government \u201cfight against illegal and destructive mining\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These findings come alongside another study recently published in <a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.1088\/2752-5309\/acb22b\">Environmental Research: Health<\/a> which found Indigenous Amazonian populations are twice as likely to die prematurely from forest fires than other South Americans. According to the researchers, the smoke particles generated by these events are responsible for two premature deaths per 100,000 people per year in South America, a figure that doubles in Indigenous communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brazil-controversial-infrastructure\">Brazil: Controversial infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Brazil, Indigenous peoples are concerned about the possible construction of <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/infrastructure\/54065-brazil-railway-expansion-plans-pressure-on-amazon\/\">Ferrogr\u00e3o<\/a>, a 1,000-kilometre railway project that would primarily transport soybeans and maize, linking the state of Mato Grosso with the port of Miritituba, across the state of Par\u00e1. The planned route will cross Indigenous territories and have impacts on the Jamanxim National Park, located in Par\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backed by Lula, the project has been described as going <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brasilagro.com.br\/conteudo\/os-projetos-antiambientais-no-governo-lula.html\">against the president\u2019s supposed pro-environmental agenda<\/a>, given his repeated promises to put green issues and the protection of the Amazon at the core of his administration. \u201cWe are going to demonstrate once again that it is possible to generate wealth without destroying the environment,\u201d he had said during his campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"50059515\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as EF-170, Ferrogr\u00e3o has been promoted for many years and by different governments. It was proposed in 2016 during Dilma Rousseff\u2019s presidency, but it did not go ahead. The Jair Bolsonaro administration could not move the project forward either. And now Lula\u2019s government, looking to support the agricultural sector, is also trying to make the project a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy impression is that the supreme court will approve the advance of this project,\u201d said Luis Baldez, president of the cargo transport association ANUT. But he added that even if it passes through the court \u201cit will face complex issues\u201d, having divided factions within the government given its potential impacts on the Amazon and its population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For M\u00e1rcio Astrini, of the Brazilian climate network the Climate Observatory, Ferrogr\u00e3o \u201cis a contradiction, because it is happening in a government that claims to have a different environmental agenda, which claims to be a leader in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As leaders gather in Colombia, we look at some of
