A title that sets out how the Amazon Basin's indigenous self-determination meets corporate profiteering, where the future of natural resource stewardship is hotly debated, where subsistence living, extreme poverty, and the vagaries of the international commodities markets are revealed.
The Amazonia is the largest continuous river basin and rainforest ecosystem in the world. In all aspects it is a natural wonder, and the rainforest with its billions of trees is a vital carbon store that slows down the advance of global warming. It is home to one million indigenous people and some three million species of plants and animals. There have been many climate fluctuations during the last 55 million years of its existence, but never before have “the lungs of the world” been at greater risk than they are today due to uncontrolled fires, expanding agriculture and heavy industrial development in the forms of oil drilling, mining and large hydroelectric dams. Over twelve chapters, this book describes the anthropological, biological and industrial problems facing the Amazonia, and seeks to find new solutions.
El presente volumen recoge los trabajos realizados por un equipo de investigadores, dirigentes sociales nacionales e internacionales y representantes del gobierno nacional, convocados por el Observatorio Andino, en torno a un tema que ha despertado mucha controversia durante los últimos años: la relación entre comercio, biodiversidad y movimientos sociales en la región amazónica. La mayor parte de los estudios elaborados por los académicos corresponde a la línea de investigación sobre conflicto y relaciones internacionales, América Latina e integración.
En la presente obra, Moran se pregunta si la selva amazonica sobrevivira a las depredaciones cometidas en las ultimas fechas, si las poblaciones indigenas seran arrasadas y diezmadas cultural y biologicamente, si la biotecnologia futura tendra acceso a las riquezas geneticas de la Amazonia, si la medicina y la farmacologia encontraran en ella nuevos productos quimicos para curar enfermedades hasta hoy incurables.
