The Aguaruna Indigenous group in Saramiriza in the Peruvian Amazon has mobilized to occupy the Petroleum Station No. 5 of the Northern Peruvian pipeline. Coordinadora Nacional de Radio [es] states that the groups are protesting that several legislative decrees are a threat to the Amazonian indigenous groups and peasant communities, which allows the government more access to their lands.span.jajahWrapper { font-size:1em; color:#B11196; text-decoration:underline; } a.jajahLink { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; } span.jajahInLink:hover { background-color:#B11196; } info@globalvoicesonline.org (Global Voices) Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pix-aid.org/articles/29/1/Seeing-is-believing/Page1.html Convincing wary villagers of new ideas can be a long process. Sergio Mora, an agricultural engineer, knows this well. He has been working for years in the high mountain villages of Peru, bringing irrigation to dry lands. “You have to take your time,” says Sergio. “By example and patience, you can win their confidence.” John Paucar, Pix-Aid’s journalist in Cusco reports just how delicate this process can be.span.jajahWrapper { font-size:1em; color:#B11196; text-decoration:underline; } a.jajahLink { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; } span.jajahInLink:hover { background-color:#B11196; } paucacho@hotmail.com (John Paucar) Thu, 09 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pix-aid.org/articles/21/1/Peruvian-farmers-facing-Global-Warming/Page1.html  The farmers of Huillcapata, a small village in the Peruvian Andes near Cusco, are aware of global warming and its consequences for the future like the increasing lack of water. They are now installing tubes for a system of gravity-driven irrigation in order to better use small streams on the mountainside.  iida-amazonico@terra.com.pe (Sergio Mora Quintanilla) Mon, 09 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pix-aid.org/articles/16/1/The-Last-of-the-Incas/Page1.html  “I am the last,” declares Isabelle Atayupanqui Pachacutec, the last direct descendant to hold the noble name of Pachacutec (the transformer of the world), the greatest leader of the Inca Empire. terry.winn@pix-aid.org (Terry Winn) Fri, 22 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.pix-aid.org/articles/14/1/Lords-of-the-Water/Page1.html   Perched on an Andean summit swept by the wind, the small village of Usi is hated yet envied by its neighbors below. The villagers of Usi control the high lakes from which the water flows and upon which the villages below depend.
