But its history could end up being repeated in other communities where mineral companies are granted concessions and then harassment, lawsuits against leaders, forced land sales, displacement, and other actions by government and corporations discourage the local population, weakening how people organize and struggle. Today, after 20 years of struggle, Intag is fragmented and unable to sustain its long-standing determination to defend its territories (NotiSur, March 14, 2014). History of resistance Approximately 17,000 people live in the Intag communities in the southwestern part of Cotacachi canton in Imbabura province, an area of cloud-covered forests and farms in the Andean highlands of northwestern Ecuador.

  • ECUADOR Ecuador Is a Constitutional Republic with a Population Of
    ECUADOR Ecuador is a constitutional republic with a population of approximately 14.3 million. In 2008 voters approved a referendum on a new constitution, which became effective in October of that year, although many of its provisions continued to be implemented. In April 2009 voters reelected Rafael Correa for his second presidential term and chose members of the National Assembly in elections that were considered generally free and fair. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. The following human rights problems continued: isolated unlawful killings and use of excessive force by security forces, sometimes with impunity; poor prison conditions; arbitrary arrest and detention; corruption and other abuses by security forces; a high number of pretrial detainees; and corruption and denial of due process within the judicial system. President Correa and his administration continued verbal and legal attacks against the independent media. Societal problems continued, including physical aggression against journalists; violence against women; discrimination against women, indigenous persons, Afro- Ecuadorians, and lesbians and gay men; trafficking in persons and sexual exploitation of minors; and child labor. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life The government or its agents did not commit any politically motivated killings; however, there continued to be credible reports that security forces used excessive force and committed isolated unlawful killings. On April 23, the government's Unit for the Fight against Organized Crime released a report exposing the existence of a gang of hit men composed of active-duty police. The report stated that police were part of a "social cleansing group" that killed delinquents in Quevedo, Los Rios Province.

  • The Relation Between Biomedicine and Local Knowledge in Primary Health Care
    UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM Amsterdam Master's in Medical Anthropology, 2007/2008 The relation between biomedicine and local knowledge in primary health care: Experiences and strategies of the Jambi Huasihealth center, in Ecuador THESIS FOR THE AMSTERDAM MASTER'S IN MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY Supervisor: Professor Dr. Stuart Blume By: Maria de Ios Angeles Erazo Pesimtez SUMMARY I ABSTRACT 'This research analyse the relation between biomedicine and local knowledge (which is so­ called traditional indigenous medicine in this research) in primary health, based on the experiences and strategies of the Jambi Huasi health center, located in the Otavalo city, in the Imbabura province, Ecuador. The fieldwork took place from May 26th to July 6th of2008. The problem revealed by this research is that due to cultural and historical reasons, some indigenous people have not received health care in hospitals, clinics and more units of the formal health system (which is based primarily on biomedicine). In order to provide health care especially to those people, the Indigenous and Peasant Federation of Imbabura (FICI, in Spanish) created Jambi Huasi, more than 24 years ago. During the fieldwork, it was possible to realize that there are clear differences of opinion regarding the way in which the biomedicine and traditional indigenous medicine are related. Some interviewed people see collaboration; others, a process of subordination or incorporation of traditional indigenous medicine into a hegemonic biomedical system. The process of "Reference and counter-reference" is one of the practices that the staff of Jambi Huasi has promoted, in order to consolidate the relationship of dialogue, mutual respect and appreciation between biomedical professionals and representatives of traditional indigenous medicine.

  • Indigenous Peoples and State Formation in Modern Ecuador
    1 Indigenous Peoples and State Formation in Modern Ecuador A. KIM CLARK AND MARC BECKER The formal political system is in crisis in Ecuador: the twentieth century ended with a four-year period that saw six different governments. Indeed, between 1997 and 2005, four of nine presidents in Latin America who were removed through irregular procedures were in Ecuador.1 Sociologist Leon Zamosc calls Ecuador “one of the most, if not the most, unstable country in Latin America.”2 At the same time, the Ecuadorian Indian movement made important gains in the last decade of the twentieth century, and for at least some sectors of society, at the turn of the twenty-first century had more pres- tige than traditional politicians did. The fact that Ecuador has a national-level indigenous organization sets it apart from other Latin American countries. National and international attention was drawn to this movement in June 1990, when an impressive indigenous uprising paralyzed the country for sev- eral weeks. Grassroots members of the Confederación de Nacionalidades Indígenas del Ecuador (CONAIE, Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador) marched on provincial capitals and on Quito, kept their agricul- tural produce off the market, and blocked the Pan-American Highway, the country’s main north-south artery. The mobilization was organized to draw attention to land disputes in the Ecuadorian Amazon (Oriente) and highlands (Sierra), and ended when the government agreed to negotiate a 16-point agenda presented by CONAIE.3 Since 1990, Ecuadorian Indians have become increasingly involved in national politics, not just through “uprising politics,” but also through 1 © 2007 University of Pittsburgh Press.

Abstract Ecuador has the world’s highest biodiversity, despite being a tiny fraction of the world’s land area. The threat of extinction for much of this biodiversity has dramatically increased since April 2016, during which time the Ecuadorian government has opened approximately 2.9 million hectares of land for mining exploration, with many of the concessions in previously protected forests. Herein, we describe the system of protected lands in Ecuador, their mining laws, and outline the scale of threat by comparing the mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and orchids from several now threatened protected areas, classed as “Bosques Protectores” (BPs), in the NW montane cloud forests.

  • Proyecciones De La Población De La Provincia De Imbabura (Ecuador)
    Proyecciones de la poblacion´ de la provincia de Imbabura (Ecuador), 2011-2040 Population projections of Imbabura province (Ecuador), 2011-2040 Alicia Delgado Noboa Abstract The article projects Imbabura province’s population up to year 2040 under four different scenarios that consider varied assumptions about the future trajectory of basic demographic variables: fertility, mortality and migration. Projections are obtained by means of determining imbaburean base population and formulating hy- potheses about the future behavior of those variables (assumptions include closed projection, constant internal migration, decreasing international migration and im- provement of future levels of fertility). Projective exercises like this one are useful for local planning focused on infrastructure construction, provision of services, or- ganization of urban development and other policies aimed to improve the living level of populations. Keywords cohort-component method, demographic projection, fertility, migration, mortality.
