  • Biografia De Raoni Metuktire
    PROJETO BIOGRAFIAS NOME: __________________________________________________ TURMA: ________ DATA: ______/_____/_____ Biografia de Raoni Metuktire Raoni. Com este nome só, evoca-se todo o mistério e o poder do povo Caiapó, do qual ele é um dos guias. Obstinado e insubmisso, esse chefe carismático leva há 4 décadas uma verdadeira cruzada para tentar salvar a floresta amazônica que o viu nascer. Pai fundador do movimento para preservação das últimas florestas tropicais, patrimônio inestimável da humanidade, ele arriscou muitas vezes sua vida por essa nobre causa. Para além da Amazônia, Raoni representa o símbolo vivo da luta levada pelas últimas tribos do mundo para proteger uma cultura milenar, em conexão direta com a natureza: uma luta pela vida. Centenas de gerações separam nossa época dos usos e costumes dessas populações ameaçadas. Raoni atravessou esse abismo imenso durante uma única existência, conservando estoicismo e dignidade. Encontrou-se com os grandes deste mundo, mas vive em uma cabana simples e nada possui. Ninguém sabe com precisão qual foi o dia em que veio ao mundo. Foi provavelmente no inicio dos anos 1930, talvez em 1932. O que sabemos, contudo é que ele nasceu num vilarejo chamado Krajmopyjakare, lugar que hoje se chama Kapôt, no coração do Mato Grosso... Sendo os Caiapós nômades, sua infância foi marcada por deslocações incessantes. Com a idade de 15 anos, Raoni guiado por seu irmão Motibau, começou a instalar seu labret, adorno portado sobre o lábio inferior, marca de reconhecimento dos guerreiros prontos a morrer por sua terra. O tamanho do labret aumenta pouco a pouco atingindo o tamanho final depois de 4 meses.

  • The Construction of Reality and the De-Construction of Barriers in Belo Monte: an Announcement of War
    38 Tulane Undergraduate Research Journal | 2015 The Construction of Reality and the De-Construction of Barriers in Belo Monte: An Announcement of War Meredith Cherney, Tulane University Abstract Ecological documentaries (eco-docs) can serve as a powerful tool to inspire global environmental action. Brazilian filmmaker and activist Andre D’Elia uses his eco-doc Belo Monte: An Announcement of War, released in 2012, to fight the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam being constructed on the Xingu River in the eastern part of the Brazilian Amazon. This article examines how D’Elia highlights the multifaceted effects of the dam, from deforestation to prostitution to frame Belo Monte as an environmental, economic, and social issue in order to forge a middle ground upon which multiple interest groups can unite. I first discuss how filmmakers can use film to construct realities that break down barriers to action. Second, I explore D’Elia’s framing of the Belo Monte against Robert and Thanos’ four criteria for global investment in a cause to show how modern activists can use film to help generate transnational action. The criteria are the type of developer, the amount of political and legal space protesters have to maneuver, the economic situation of the country, and the ways in which citizens at home and abroad respond to the struggle. Though watching a film does not necessarily generate action, it does provide viewers with a frame, crafted by the filmmaker, to understand the issue. The frame is crucial because the discursive language it fosters shapes the viewer’s understanding and therefore actions taken in relation to the issue.

  • Challenges for Environmental and Indigenous Peoples' Rights in The
    IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS Requested by the DROI subcommittee Challenges for environmental and indigenous peoples’ rights in the Amazon region @Adobe Stock Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union PE 603.488 - June 2020 EN DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS Challenges for environmental and indigenous peoples’ rights in the Amazon region ABSTRACT The present analysis examines the environmental and human rights challenges in the Amazon region. It finds that the Amazonian countries pursue development policies in the region based on the exploitation on an industrial scale of natural and non-renewable resources that have caused and continue to cause deforestation, loss of biodiversity and engender human rights violations in particular affecting indigenous peoples. The analysis acknowledges the measures taken by the Amazonian countries to establish protected areas and support indigenous territories and their rights but concludes that the laws need strengthening and effective enforcement. The analysis argues that the protection of the Amazon biome is an essential part of the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and concurs with the view of some scientists that there is an urgency to stop forest loss. The analysis further notes that the most effective guardians of the Amazonian forest and its biodiversity are its indigenous peoples. The analysis concludes by arguing that the European Union has an interest in contributing to the protection of the Amazon and its indigenous peoples. It recommends, among other things, that the EU strengthen its direct support to Amazonian indigenous peoples and environmental defenders and develop effective measures which target EU-based companies whose activities cause deforestation.
