Local Area Connection Sent Recived Problem

And repressive HUALLAGA PURPOSES OR PANTRY Central Agroenergy

The Peruvian Amazon, is overrun with proposals on public infrastructure and natural resources, in contrast with the limited information available to the public, who did not have the opportunity to meet and discuss opportunities . Recall that Loreto, historically was the scene of the excessive exploitation of rubber, then the systematic extraction of hydrocarbons, claims to large areas for monocultures, now, has been planned from Lima, between cocks and midnight and refilling Marañón Huallaga purposes of agricultural irrigation and hydropower generation, to benefit primarily to four regions of the western slope.


Loreto, pantry again becomes the central ambition, even at the expense of more basic resource for our residents: Water; It will also thinking, in: how to separate from the future sale of oxygen to the rightful beneficiaries: Indigenous communities?, this ambition seems to have no limits, then socio-economic investment important, there are no more than brief and shy social programs.

Water is essential to the ecological balance of the Amazon basin and its biodiversity, essential for the survival of indigenous peoples living on the banks of the river and tributaries of the area in question . Between this and other reasons, the United Nations on 28 July this year, adopted a resolution declaring the human right to water and sanitation. Therefore, we must link this right, the demand for a Global Security, Regional and Local, a safety of everyone, especially those that still in the Region without access to safe water and sanitation least basic.

We must also take stock of investments made by the state, contrasted with extreme poverty rates ** in the region, poverty prevailing in these provinces (Upper Amazon, Marañón Datem , etc.), under the pretext of developing large areas of the coast, passing unnoticed, the legitimate right to a healthy environment and development of Loreto, who should be suitably treated with development programs, aimed at empowering indigenous peoples (for the exploitation of natural resources, who have held the National Economy). It is therefore necessary to include policy development, sustainability and balanced integration between economic development, social equity and environmental respect.
Indigenous Peoples in Loreto, over 94% *** without safe drinking water and more than 37% have no toilets of any kind, just over 50% have latrines unhealthy ( septic tanks), obviously lacking, sanitation (sewage treatment, adequate sewage disposal, solid waste management). Therefore, the resolution of the UN, provides a basis for liability of the state and other actors, for the purpose of generating political will and carry out necessary reforms at the level of laws, policies and activities to achieve the higher goal: universal and sustainable access to water and sanitation in these villages.

The Marañón River upstream, covers a catchment area of \u200b\u200babout 50.000 km2, between the origin of the Maranon and Huallaga basins in the provinces of Alto Amazonas and Datem the Marañón and the confluence with Cenepa rivers and Santiago in Las Amazonas, Morona, Pastaza and Paranapura in Loreto, even part of the region of San Martin; although, the rainfall in our region, with average rainfall of 2,000 mm / year, however, occurs only during the months of January to March, the rest of the year, suffered relatively dry seasons, with high shortage water, the other months.

There is no justification, even though in 2025, provides a water resource crisis, of course, is seen as a lifeline for Coast regions: the Amazon basin, no matter the opinions or socioeconomic status of inhabitants of the region, rather than the profit motive particular would mean the project. We compare the high population density of the coast, compared to the low population density of the forest, erroneously stating that there is a drop in average rainfall 2.687 mm / year, therefore, with excess water.
Nature, is warning us to be more droughts and floods are unpredictable, and, by the mere fact of benefit to the regions of La Libertad, Huánuco, Ancash, San Martin, we can not put at stake: the health and ecological balance of the Loreto region. Although the project CORINA, aims to irrigate one million hectares and produce 9 million kilowatts of hydropower, and the Government intends to declare a national interest Water resources, arguing that the project will prevent flooding in the jungle, where there was no sign in any way, any specific benefit, to future people affected, " continue to be considered at all, citizens of second or third, with the pantry of centralism, in contrast with the increase of extreme poverty in the region of Loreto?

addition, feasibility studies of many public infrastructure projects are economically viable, and that in any case, pay serious attention, to environmental and social impacts, which involve unexpected costs. The people directly affected, have not had the slightest chance, to see the projects and studies, even worse, it appears that these details are not known, nor by those who make the decision to run. Projects, exploitation of natural resources such as hydrocarbons, minerals, wood, soil for agriculture or hydropower, roads are even more isolated from society, mostly because they respond to private interests or capital.

What U Need For Ny Id

REGIONAL CONSERVATION ORDINANCES OR LIMITATION OF INDIGENOUS RIGHTS

The January 12, 2008, met in Santa Maria de Nanay, Nanay communities representatives, to sign a memorial, to request the creation of the RTA Nanay, Pintuyacu and Chambira, which was referred to Memorial Regional Government of Loreto, the proposal included all the area is not called the district of Alto Nanay, which was requested to be managed sustainably by the villagers of Nanay, however, on 22 May of that year, without consultation is issued OR No. 014-2008-GRL-CR ( public interest that regional states the conservation and protection of the Nanay River Basin and the headwaters of river basins and Arabela Mazan), which contradicts the request of the forty-eight representatives of communities in the Nanay, an affront to the villagers and unconstitutional manifest Ordinance which was enacted on the backs of the communities, in violation of the right to prior consultation provisions of the ILO International Convention 169, passing ignored, as stated in the Memorial reached the Gorel, urging a Regional Conservation Area.

Finally, to respond to the memorial of the communities of Alto Nanay, on 04 February 2009, is issued OR No. 030-2008-GRL-CR (which Approves the proposal of the Regional Conservation Area Comunal Alto Nanay - Pintuyacu - Chambira), which obviously conflicts with the RO No. 014-2008-CR-GRL, since the latter provides protection and conservation in the area, while the creation of the ACR established the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources, Gorel budgets, unfortunately, this is one of the reasons that creates conflicts and leads to outright rejection, by the inhabitants of Alto Nanay.

Note that first Nanay communities request the creation of the RTA, then, resolves to enact OR No. 014-2008-CR-GRL , which states in its first article: "Declare the public interest regional conservation and protection of the Nanay River Basin and the headwaters of river basins and Arabela Mazan in an area of \u200b\u200b307,358.42 hectares ... 1`. " On the other hand, communities obtained as a result of its brief, the OR N º 030-2008-GRL-CR, which states in particular: "To promote the sustainable use of natural resources by local communities through the implementation of the Master Plan and other ACR management documents, and agreements between communities, especially of priority species for conservation, promoting the improvement of living conditions of local people and respect their legitimate rights to sustainable use of natural resources ... "and" Ensure the allocation of funding from the budget of the Regional Government of Loreto to the effect that once created the Conservation Area Community Regional High Nanay - Pintuyacu - Chambira will cover the necessary expenses for management from 2010. "

Illegitimacy RO No. 014-2008-CR-GRL, which was not requested by the communities, let alone been consulted and socialized, because, from time to time another have been limited in their legitimate rights to sustainably manage their own natural resources, therefore, is an ordinance blatantly unconstitutional, illegal and abusive, on the other hand, exempting oil companies from their seudoproteccionismo, which does not occur with the communal rights that are violated in this case, a Master Plan which must implement the PROCREL.

Advances in Nanay, are limited in the attempt to apply the OR 014-2008, which is contradictory, because on the one hand protects watershed only two headers and another involving the entire Nanay River Basin within the District of Alto Nanay.

With this clarification, it is intended above all, defend the indigenous people of the basin Nanay, who reject these measures without consultation and limitations of their rights, citizens who have necessarily be consulted, when a law or rule of lesser rank, they could affect start to lead by example, and not pretend to give us rights trampling heroes, both touted defense.

As the RO N º 020-2009-GRL-CR (a historic landmark regional conservation and protection of the headwaters of the basin located in the rivers of the region of Loreto), this is letter dead, because for example, do not take effective measures against the diversion of the Huallaga and Marañón, facing the artisanal mining, which do much damage to the regional ecology, because it is not drinkable water from the Nanay River Basin, and better yet, because continue to allow drains Nanay communities continue pouring into the water, does that, not to protect water quality and contribute to the environmental control of ecological processes?, inter alia, that certainly does not reach certain interests but political.

the Ordinance should involve inter alia the following measures: "Identification of Ecological and Evolutionary Processes Essential for the Persistence and Conservation of Biodiversity in the Loreto region, Amazonian Peru," "The establishment, as a rule of mandatory protection of the catchments for all plans, programs and projects of the watershed, whether public sector or private companies. " "The assignment to programs, projects, Regional Managers, Regional Managers and Regional Offices Sub Sector ...", however, it seems that at the time or budget or results, just a dead letter, compared with momentous issues that affect all Loretanos, In short there are no "pathways Regional Ordinances, but that it did not fulfill its true role of protector, much less involving indigenous communities, who are the true protectors of excellence, they are used only for the use of funds financial and bureaucratic for other purposes.
