"We
are now facing a difficult situation in Peru, where there are attempts to cut
back the territorial rights of the indigenous peoples, including moves to divide,
fragment and privatise our communal organisations. Now more than ever, it is a
matter of urgency for us to consolidate our own indigenous alternatives for development."
-- Evaristo Nugkuag Ikanan
The
forest is not a resource for us, it is life itself. It is the only place for us
to live. --
