continues to dispossess Indigenous Peoples around the world of their
territories to justify the implementation of dubious projects pushing climate
change mitigation mechanisms and biodiversity conservation actions. It ignores
the ancient rights of communities over their territories, and actively impairs
their own local governance systems perfected over time. The resistance to this
fraudulent attempt at conservation, however, is gaining ground all over the
world. In this article on the emerging issues in Peru, </span><span>Matias
Pérez Ojeda del Arco discusses the ongoing struggle of the Kichwa people to
ensure the enjoyment of their traditional livelihoods and </span><span lang="EN-GB">the continuation of their territorialities and relationalities with
their forests. While the situation is far from perfect, this contestation has
allowed for the creation of an “alternative” paradigm where the communities are
recognized as key actors for any conservation action undertaken by the Peruvian
State to meet its climate commitments.</span><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font size="4"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Please
