- I would like to share a article that highlights the social and political activism of the indigenous Ashaninka, who reside in the Amazon forest. In particular, this article expresses the capacity of such indigenous groups to successfully undermine the designs of big government and corporations within the existing political framework, using the law and the mobilization of civil society to thwart mega dams and their environmental repercussions. It's pretty interesting stuff if you care about the biodiversity and cultural value of the Amazon.
