Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While countries all over the world are on lockdown, and panic is the order of the day, this is a time when Indigenous Peoples around the world are encouraged to stay calm, and be strong, in the face of severe adversity.
What is most important to note, is that our elderly are the most vulnerable. We need to take extra precaution to save the lives of the ones who are dear to us, and the ones who have shown us the way to go, who have guided our feet on the path that we all walk.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
The Covid-19 Pandemic is upon us, and we all need to adhere to all the hygiene protocols.
While it is important to ensure the well-being of our elders in the time of this global pandemic, let us take care of our children too. If this is new for us, imagine the psychological impact it has on our young ones. Take the time to explain it to them, first hand, as opposed to what they see and hear on social media, television and radio.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While we adhere to the precautionary measures that prevent the spread of the coronavirus, it is important to strengthen the defenses in our body through responsible and healthy nourishment. Having a healthy immune system means that our bodies can fight the virus.
Within the community there are a great variety of foods that grow and are produced that can cover the needs of our families and of those elders who live alone.

In this Sunuwar language podcast, Inclusive Media Foundation, Newa FM, and Likhu FM take a look at how the Indigenous Peoples of Nepal struggle to maintain ownership of their ancestral lands since the construction of Hydropower plants in their ancestral areas is the cause of much anguish.

En Perú, más del 30% de la población se identifica como Indígena, además, existen y resisten más de 55 Pueblos Indígenas y aún se escuchan y hablan 48 idiomas nativos, entre ellos el Aymara,  con al menos 450 mil hablantes en este país.

¿Qué entendemos por derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas? Los derechos son las facultades y libertades que protegen y favorecen a las personas o colectivos. Los Pueblos Indígenas hemos logrado, gracias a nuestra organización y lucha, el reconocimiento de derechos fundamentales como tener nuestro propio idioma, cultura y religión, así como mantener la tenencia del territorio que tradicionalmente hemos habitado. 

A lo largo de dos años de la pandemia por Covid-19, las mujeres han tenido un papel fundamental, respondiendo con eficacia a las necesidades que trajo consigo esta contingencia sanitaria. No obstante, las dificultades para el ejercicio de su derecho a la participación política han aumentado, enfrentándose a un incremento en las jornadas de cuidados hacia sus familias, así como mayor marginación y violencia. 

De acuerdo con la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), en la actualidad en el mundo se hablan cerca de 7 mil idiomas, de los cuales 6 mil 700 son lenguas Indígenas. El Aymara se habla en el sur de Perú, en el norte de Chile y Bolivia, y se debe resaltar que no sólo es un idioma, sino también es una gran nación con cultura y cosmovisión propia.

Durante esta pandemia de Covid-19, muchos aspectos de nuestra vida cotidiana se han transformado, y la educación no ha sido la excepción. En estos años, las clases han dejado de ser presenciales y se han llevado a un entorno virtual, una medida que permitió evitar más contagios. Pero, ¿qué pasó con la educación intercultural que se ejerce en las zonas rurales de Perú? ¿A qué se han enfrentado los estudiantes en lugares donde muy poca población cuenta con equipos para acceder a clases virtuales o en donde no existe el servicio de internet?  

Los combustibles fósiles y otras fuentes de energía convencionales liberan muchos gases de efecto invernadero que perjudican al medio ambiente. Por esta razón, a nivel mundial se habla de la necesidad de una transición hacia el uso de fuentes de energías más limpias y el desarrollo de tecnologías como los sistemas de almacenamiento en baterías. No obstante, para la creación de dichas baterías son necesarios los llamados “minerales de transición”, cuya extracción aumenta el peligro de nuevos desplazamientos y despojo de territorios de los Pueblos Indígenas.
