Amazons
«Cuencas Sagradas». A Journey to Indigenous Governance
Documentary screening and conversation
Debate
In this session, the documentary The time of water will be screened, followed by a conversation with Achuar indigenous leader Uyunkar Domingo Peas Nampichkai and journalists Francesc Badia and Shanna Hanbury about the struggle of indigenous communities to defend their land against the threats of climate change and extractivism.
Thirty indigenous nations in the upper Amazon, in Ecuador and Peru, are self-organizing to defend a jungle devastated by the forces of extractivism that are relentlessly devouring the territory. The leaders of these peoples are on high alert due to the devastating effects of climate change on nature, which they conceive of as a living, spiritual being. How are they dealing with this existential crisis? What worldview do they propose to save the jungle and the planet? Are we in time to avoid a point of no return?
Participants: Francesc Badia i Dalmases, Shanna Hanbury, Uyunkar Domingo Peas Nampichkai
