<strong>Press</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>Europe</strong> <strong>WSF</strong> <strong>2009</strong><br />

Mouvement indigène mondial qu’il s’adresse au FSM pour: a) déclarer persona non grata, par rapport à l’esprit du FSM,<br />

le président de l’Equateur. Le FSM se doit de reconnaître la légitimité de nos revendications, de nos droits et des<br />

Peuples indigènes du monde et c’est dans ce contexte que nous ne devons et ne pouvons risquer de mettre en cause la<br />

légitimité et la crédibilité du FSM ;b) suspendre les manifestations du FSM auxquelles le président Rafael Correa<br />

Delagado est présent et que le FSM rende publique sa condamnation des violations des droits de tous les Peuples qui<br />

forment la société équatorienne.<br />

5. La CONAIE confirme l’esprit démocratique, de paix, de défense intransigeante des droits de nos Peuples de la Terre<br />

mère et son engagement auprès des causes nobles de construction de sociétés dans lesquelles soient garantis les<br />

droits de tous les Peuples [indigènes] de la planète.<br />

“Les Peuples indigènes ne sont pas la cause du problème, ils sont un élément des solutions aux problèmes.<br />

Le racisme sous toutes ses formes est immoral, misérable et ceux qui le pratiquent le sont aussi. ”<br />

Conseil de gouvernement de la CONAIE<br />

Brazil ex-minister, leader from Amazon area, warns of destruction (Ecumenical News)<br />

26 January <strong>2009</strong> | 09-0066 |<br />

Belem, Brazil (ENI). The ecological destruction of the Amazon region poses a serious threat to the planet, former<br />

Brazilian environmental minister Marina Silva has warned in advance of the World Social Forum, a global gathering<br />

addressing exploitative globalisation that opens on 27 January.<br />

"There is no way to imagine the planet without the Amazon," Silva said in a<br />

speech to the 3rd World Forum on Theology and Liberation, which met in Belem,<br />

northeastern Brazil, near the mouth of the Amazon River, from 21 to 25 January.<br />

The <strong>WSF</strong> said it scheduled its <strong>2009</strong> meeting in Belem to focus on the need to<br />

maintain the biodiversity of the Amazon region. Sharing a platform on 24 January<br />

with Leonardo Boff, a Brazilian liberation theologian now campaigning on the<br />

environmental threat, Silva described the maintenance of the Amazon forests as<br />

essential for the sustainability of the earth.<br />

"We are facing an unprecedented crisis. It's not only environmental, it's not only<br />

economic, it's a crisis for civilisation," said Silva, a member of the Brazilian<br />

Senate for the Para region of which Belem is the capital. "It's not only a matter of<br />

losing resources. We didn't use to have the hurricanes we now have in the south of Brazil."<br />
