Peru received $135 million in USAID funding in 2024. Much was for projects combating narcotics and gold trafficking, which are now linked. But substantial contributions were also made in areas ranging from democratic governance to minority rights. #USAID #peru #Trafficking

Klimaschutz im peruanischen Regenwald:

Delegierte der Asháninka teilen ihre Perspektiven

Jede*r kann etwas für den Klimaschutz tun – zu Hause, im Beruf oder im Ehrenamt. Nachhaltig zu leben heißt auch, neue Perspektiven zuzulassen und das eigene Verhalten zu reflektieren.

Eine besondere Gelegenheit bietet der Impulsabend:

Yanet Velasco Castillo und Melqui Huaman Delgadillo berichten, wie sich der Klimawandel im peruanischen Amazonasgebiet auswirkt, was sie dagegen tun und was Nachhaltigkeit für sie bedeutet.

Als Vertreterinnen der Organisation CARE setzen sie sich für Landrechte, den Schutz vor Abholzung und Drogenhandel sowie für Gleichberechtigung und Menschenrechte ein.
Gemeinsam fragen wir: Was können wir in München aus ihren Erfahrungen lernen? Und was wünschen sich die Asháninka von uns?

Dialogabend im neuen Zukunftssalon: Klimagerechtigkeit.

Dialog mit Gästen aus dem peruanischen Regenwald.

Mit Yanet Velasco Castillo und Melqui Huamán Delgadillo.

Beim derzeitigen Rohstoffhunger sowie den Klimaveränderungen ist völlig unklar, ob die indigene Bevölkerung das Amazonasgebiet weiterhin bewohnen und – für uns alle – bewahren kann. Unsere Partner, die Asháninka, haben ihre Ziele für die kommenden Jahre (bis 2030) festgeschrieben. Wie wollen und können sie leben?
Konkrete Probleme, Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze stehen im Mittelpunkt des Abends.

 Spanisch mit Übersetzung. Eintritt frei, Spenden erbeten, Veranstalter: Arbeitskreis München – Asháninka des Nord Süd Forum München e.V. Unterstützer: Pro REGENWALD e.V., Kusikuna e.V.

Am Freitag, 16. Mai von 19 bis 21 Uhr im Zukunftssalon, oekom e.V., Goethestraße 28 (Hinterhaus)

Cusco was once the center of the most powerful empire in pre-Columbian South America, the Inca Empire. The city's name in Quechua is Qosqo, which means "navel of the Earth."

📸 1:
Pachacuti was the ninth Sapa Inca of the Realm of Cusco, which he transformed into the Inca Empire. He was a great visionary and conqueror. Most archaeologists now believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for him.

📸 2:
One of the cobblestone footpaths is always crowded by tourists, staring at and taking selfies with a specific stone - the 12-angled stone. The stones were cut with such precision that they fit seamlessly, leaving no space, not even for a thin piece of paper, between them. This Inca wall, including the distinctive 12-angled stone, has survived the Spanish conquest, earthquakes, and other natural disasters - what a testament to the Incas' remarkable construction techniques.

📸 3:
The aqueduct Sapatiana provided the Inca capital with water. The remaining and preserved part of the characteristic Inca stonework is another picturesque spot, located in the upper part of the San Blas neighbourhood.

📸 4-6:
Sacsayhuaman, an impressive Inca fortress is believed to have served as an important administrative and religious center for the Inca Empire. The site was constructed using enormous blocks of stone that were precisely fitted together without the use of mortar.

📸 7-8:
The colonial Baroque-style church 'Iglesia San Cristóbal' was constructed on the foundations of an Inca temple that was destroyed by the Spaniards. From the plaza in front of the church you get an incredibly nice view over the city.

📸 9-12:
The Plaza de Armas is surrounded by impressive colonial-era buildings, mostly used as restaurants, shops or tourist offices. The two outstanding buildings are the Basílica Catedral de Cuzco and the Iglesia de la Companía de Jesús, both featuring a mix of Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles.

"Peru holds the second-largest share of Amazon rainforest after Brazil, with over 70 million hectares—about 60% of Peru’s territory, according to nonprofit Rainforest Trust. It’s one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet and home to more than 50 Indigenous peoples, some living in voluntary isolation. These communities are vital guardians of ecosystems and the rainforests they protect help stabilize the global climate by absorbing large quantities of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is the main driver of climate change.

Passed in 2011, the original Forestry and Wildlife Law required state approval and environmental studies before any change in forest land use. But recent reforms have steadily weakened those protections. The latest amendment allows landowners and companies to bypass that approval, even retroactively legalizing past deforestation.

Julio Cusurichi, board member of the Interethnic Association for the Development of the Peruvian Rainforest, said the measure will embolden land-grabbing and worsen environmental oversight in already vulnerable areas.

“Our communities have historically protected not just our lands but the planet,” Cusurichi said."
