Recently, through the support of the Christensen Fund, the Centre for
Biocultural Diversity (CBCD) - University of Kent - has facilitated
the establishment of solidarity links between the indigenous
communities of Palawan and those of Madre de Dios (Peru) who have
resisted and are resisting mining for more than two decades. The
establishment of this linkage took place right at the time when
indigenous peoples of the Amazonian Peru had began various forms of
open resistance against hydrocarbon extraction in their traditional
territories. The solidarity link between the IPs of Peru and Palawan
is being consolidated through the collaboration of the Ancestral Land/
Domain Watch (ALDAW) and COINBAMAD (Consejo Indigena de la Cuenca Baja
de Madre De Dios). Such exchanges promotes the sharing of experiences
as a way of: 1) fostering reflection and joint actions through the
establishment of strategic alliances; and 2) addressing common
problems regarding
indigenous links, rights and claims over ancestral homelands and
cultural landscapes. The envisaged goal is to enable the production of
jointly produced video materials that could be used to exert pressure
at a national and international policy level.
Through Julios visit, a process of direct exchange between grassroots
indigenous mobilization in Madre de Dios, Peru and local indigenous
anti-mining movements in Palawan has been initiated. Julio visited the
pristine Gantong forest being claimed by MacroAsia Corporation for
Nickel extraction. Video shootings made by Julio Cusurichi in Palawan
have been taken back to Peru and are being shown to the Amazonian
indigenous communities. A cross-visit of Palawan representatives to
the Peruvian Amazon is being planned.
