Brazil's Arariboia Indigenous Territory is a green island that spans more than 413,000 hectares (1.02 million acres) in a sea of deforestation. Though the territory is protected by law, it's become the site of incursions by loggers and cattle ranchers.In a five-year investigative series for the environmental news outlet Mongabay, reporter Karla Mendes exposed environmental crimes in Arariboia and other protected areas of the Amazon, including palm oil production, logging, and cattle ranching. She also investigated the murder of Paulo Paulino Guajajara, an indigenous Forest Guardian who was ambushed by loggers. He was one of more than 50 indigenous Guajajara individuals killed in the last 20 years. Mendes' reporting is helping to bring justice to these remote areas where impunity has been the norm.Her investigation was part of a Pulitzer Center Rainforest Investigations fellowship. She says as the climate changes, Brazilians are showing increased interest in journalism like hers that highlights the importance of protecting the rainforest. LEARN MORERead Karla Mendes' report: Revealed: Illegal cattle ranching booms in Arariboia territory during deadly year for Indigenous Guajajara.Learn more about the impact of the investigation.Watch a short documentary film about the Guardians of the Forest and the search for justice for Paulo Paulino Guajajara.

The Phnom Chum Rok Sat community forest used to support local and Indigenous groups in Cambodia's Stung Treng province, as well as a thriving local ecotourism venture, but that all changed this year when mining company Lin Vatey privately acquired roughly two-thirds of the land and began clearing the forest. Mongabay features writer Gerry Flynn investigated how this happened with freelance reporter Nehru Pry, and speaks with co-host Mike DiGirolamo about how the 10 individuals behind the land grab, many of whom have connections to powerful Cambodian military officials and their families, managed this land grab. Local community members who have resisted currently face legal intimidation and arrests. While community forests, such as Phnon Chum Rok Sat, are supposed to belong to the public, this kind of corporate acquisition of land is commonplace in the nation, Flynn says. “As we see a lot in Cambodia, it's public forests being turned into private fortunes.” Like this podcast?

On The LatinNews Podcast this week, we look at what is being done to resolve the long standing conflict between the Chilean government and the Mapuche indigenous people, inhabitants of parts of south-central Chile, who have suffered from a policy of "pacification" which resulted in a tragic history of exterminations and displacement.  Tracing its roots back to the time of Chile's independence from Spain in 1810, the Mapuche conflict has evolved over time and there is now an increase in violent acts as militant Mapuche groups seek greater recognition and rights to ancestral lands.  The magnitude of the challenge is not lost on President Boric who launched a commission in 2023 to find a solution. So, how can Chile address this long standing historical debt to the Mapuche?  Joining us on the podcast is Dr Pablo Policzer, Associate Professor of Political Science and former director of the Latin American Research Centre at the University of Calgary in Canada who provides us with contexts from the very beginning of the conflict to the current day.

Join us as we welcome the insightful Dr. Peter Rosset, an esteemed agroecologist and activist embedded in the heart of Central America. Dr. Rosset brings his wealth of experience with La Via Campesina—a formidable global social movement uniting over 200 million rural families—to our discussion. Together, we dissect the pivotal role this movement plays in championing indigenous rights and food sovereignty while defending nature, rural life, and equitable access to land. Contrast the principles of agroecology with the entrenched norms of industrial agriculture, and explore how harmonious, socially just farming practices can resist the tide of agribusiness and revitalize rural landscapes, particularly in the Global South. Our exploration extends into the political undercurrents that have shaped agricultural revolutions in Latin America, influenced by historic movements like the Vietnam War and Black Power Movement. Discover the journey of a politically-engaged individual whose technical support during the Nicaraguan revolution and subsequent experiences across Latin America underscore the complexities of fostering ethical agricultural systems. Learn practical ways to support farm workers, indigenous land claims, and family farmers in the U.S. Finally, we turn our focus to Cuba, where innovative agricultural practices, such as urban organopanicos and the campesino-to-campesino model, emerged from necessity and now stand as beacons of sustainable food production. Reflect on Cuba's lessons of ecological resilience and social equity, crucial as we confront the challenges posed by climate change.   For sources and to read more about this subject, visit: www.agroecologies.org    To support this podcast, join our patreon for early episode access at https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac For PPA Writing Content, visit: www.agroecologies.org For PPA Restoration Content, visit: www.restorationagroecology.com For PPA Merch, visit: www.poorproles.com For PPA Native Plants, visit: www.nativenurseries.org To hear Tomorrow, Today, our sister podcast, visit: www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/   Agroecology, La Via Campesina, Indigenous Rights, Food Sovereignty, Nature, Rural Life, Land Access, Industrial Agriculture, Global South, Political Undercurrents, Agricultural Revolutions, Latin America, Vietnam War, Black Power Movement, Ethical Agricultural Systems, Farm Workers, Indigenous Land Claims, Family Farmers, Cuba, Urban Organoponicos, Campesino-to-Campesino Model, Ecological Resilience, Social Equity, Climate Change, Sustainable Food Production

In this episode of The Founder Spirit, the trailblazing Atossa Soltani, Founder and Board President of Amazon Watch, shares her journey of becoming a leading voice in protecting the Amazon rainforest and defending the rights of its indigenous population. She discusses her formative experiences witnessing the Iranian Revolution, and also talks about her aha moment when the Gaia Hypothesis really resonated with her. She highlights the Amazon rainforest, the heart of our planet, being at an irreversible tipping point, and the urgent need to reverse deforestation. As the current Director of Global Strategy at Amazon Sacred Headwaters, an alliance of 30 Indigenous nations to permanently protect 86 million acres of rainforests in the most biologically diverse ecosystem on Earth, Atossa also underscores the outsized role that the Indigenous Peoples play in protecting Gaia as environmental defenders, and the lessons from their worldviews and traditional knowledge. She acknowledges that in order to realize a grander vision for the world, it requires a paradigm shift in our collective consciousness from material wealth to collective harmony and wellbeing, and a holistic perspective that recognizes the sacredness of life and our interconnectedness with nature. By mimicking nature's genius and adopting nature's principles, we can create a world that is in harmony with the web of life.Just how did Atossa become a leading voice in protecting the Amazon Rainforest and defending rights of its Indigenous population?

Across the U.S., large scale renewable energy projects, transmission lines, and mining sites for critical minerals are built on or near tribal lands. For example, the federal government plans to loan billions of dollars to Lithium Americas to develop a lithium mine in Nevada at a location known as Thacker Pass, sacred to local Paiute and Shoshone people.  With the tumultuous history of energy development on indigenous lands, many tribes are pushing back on citing new infrastructure on their land. So, how is the energy transition impacting Native American communities? And what are advocacy groups and the federal government doing to protect indigenous rights and lands? This week host Bill Loveless talks with Kate Finn about the contentious history of energy projects on Native American lands, how that history influences energy development today, and how her organization is working to ensure Native Americans have a seat at the table in determining how best to use indigenous lands.  Kate is the executive director of First Peoples Worldwide, an organization focused on upholding the rights, sovereignty, and economic power of Indigenous People around the world. She was the inaugural American Indian Law Program Fellow at the University of Colorado Law, where she worked directly with tribes and Native communities. Her recent work focuses on the impacts of development in Indigenous communities, and embedding respect for Indigenous peoples into routine business operations.

Recognition Politics: Indigenous Rights and Ethnic Conflict in the Andes (Cambridge University Press, 2023) by Dr. Lorenza B. Fontana is a pioneering work that explores a new wave of widely overlooked conflicts that have emerged across the Andean region, coinciding with the implementation of internationally acclaimed indigenous rights. Why are groups that have peacefully cohabited for decades suddenly engaging in hostile and, at times, violent behaviours? What is the link between these conflicts and changes in collective self-identification, claim-making, and rent-seeking dynamics? And how, in turn, are these changes driven by broader institutional, legal and policy reforms? By shifting the focus to the 'post-recognition,' this unique study sets the agenda for a new generation of research on the practical consequences of the employment of ethnic-based rights. To develop the core argument on the links between recognition reforms and 'recognition conflicts', Lorenza Fontana draws on extensive empirical material and case studies from three Andean countries – Bolivia, Colombia and Peru – which have been global forerunners in the implementation of recognition politics. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
