T.RES Worldwide initiatives
Project to safeguard local biodiversity and the native community.
This project is followed by a team of experts in "Development Cooperation" formed by Giorgio Piracci and Lorenzo Criscione, Adriano Cafiso, and Gianpiero Vigo, protagonists of the Latin American expedition to take place between May and August 2006. The team will be exploring the districts of Oxapampa, Pozuzo, and Palcazù, which are dominated by rain forests, and the Yanachaga-Chemillin National Park, The Yanesha Community Reserve, the Rio Iscozacin Valley, and the community of the "madereros": the families who descended from Austro-Prussian immigrants who arrived here during the mid-1800's.
This initiative is the result of the feasibility study for the "Creation of an agency for the development, management, and promotion of sustainable eco-tourism" in the Palcazù and Pozuzo valleys. This project, managed, directed, and administered by the native Yanesha community through the Feconaya (Federación de las Comunidades Nativas Yanesha), proposes, among other things, to sustain and promote the recognition of the future Biosfera "Selva Centrale" Reserve - also known as the Oxapampa-Yanesha-Ashaninka Reserve.
March 2007 Update
The photographic material from the expedition has been used to create a documentary film, "Puetarè Mashin!" which has been put forward for entry at the Human's Rights Nights Film Festival in Bologna, the Rome Independent Film Festival, and the Festival of African, Asian and Latin-American Cinema in Milan. It has also been used to create an exhibition.At the end of the expedition, the Tsachopen native community, represented by the ex-president of the native organisation FECONAYA, was presented with Ferrino equipment for a small local association, entirely managed by natives, that works for the development of small-scale tourism concerns.
Exhibition Info:"SELVA CENTRALE: CON GLI YANESHA NELL'AMAZZONIA PERUVIANA" (SELVA CENTRAL: WITH THE YANESHA IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON)
The "Selva Centrale" multimedia exhibition is an offshoot of the "En La Selva 2006" project, an expedition that took place in May and June 2006, visiting the Yanesha native communities in the Peruvian rainforests under the patronage of important Italian and Peruvian institutions.
The aim of the exhibition is to raise public awareness with regard to the problems in the Selva Central of Peru and the need for sustainable development in this an area classified as a hot spot by the most important international organisations. The area known as the Selva Central is currently the subject of a proposal to create a Biosphere Reserve as part of the UNESCO MAB programme. The "En La Selva 2006" project together with this multimedia exhibition - "Selva Centrale" - is a part of this process, with the support of the local organisations with a stake in this cause. The aim of the exhibition is therefore to draw attention to this process and to its possible effects on the populations concerned: first and foremost, the native Yanesha people.
