Ashaninkas
Ashaninka big trees are fragile
The first who told me about the gigantic hydroelectric dam which threatens the Peruvian jungle was a friend : Camille Couteau. Along with their living place, the dam on the the Ene River in Paktizapango might drown the culture of Ashaninka Indians.
So we owe to Camille all these beautiful drawings, paintings, videos and texts you have sent through Facebook and that appear now on a blog.
Why collecting drawings for the defense of Indians and not doing the same for the poor ones trying to cross the Mediterranean sea from the south shores to northern ones ?
Because what happens beyond the vast horizon we embrace from the Pointe du Raz and the one we see from Nice affects us as much and in the same obvious way as homeless people standing on the opposite sidewalk .
These miseries share the same roots.Links exist between deforestation, climate changes and the vanishing of cultures. There are links between the plundering of Africa, border wars and death by drowning.
To spot these links you just have to note the striking concomitance between the geographic location of exploitable natural resources and the territories where the poor live. The ultimate resources of planet earth lie in the very same places where they try to survive.
This blog is far from being the only way to militate against this giant dam. You just have to write down "Ashaninka" on Google and you can choose your way for taking your part in “something".
