Indigenous Peoples Alto Xingu: River poisoned by soy plantations despite complaints
Alto Xingu's Indigenous Leader Aritana Yawalapiti, from the the upper region of indigenous territory (Park Xingu) explains the problems with soy plantations.
One of the priorities of the Alto Xingu (Upper Xingu), Indigenous leader Aritana say's that he wants to preserve most of all the watershed and spring areas of the river that enters into enormous huge indigenous peoples territory, in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The Indigenous reserve, the Xingu Park, is a green island with intact biodiversity , but finds itself surrounded by deforestation caused by ever increasing soy plantations and cattle ranches. The forest shield between soy plantations, pasture land, and the springs, watersheds and ultimately the river, are nearly not existent. Outside the borders of the Indigenous territory Xingu Park, in which inside several ethnicities of indigenous people live in a traditional way of live, agro cultural plantations and cattle mass production and enormous forest degradation created a huge impact to the original inhabitants of that area, in just a few years. Poisonous fertilizers, cattle feces and cadavers, and degraded soil from the cattle and soy production are washed into the springs, watersheds, streams and at the end rivers that enter Indigenous terrirory at the Alro Xingu. Fish, and larger animals sporadicaly die, in large amounts, in the river that enters the well preserved intact nature of the lower growing forest, cerrado, in the Alto Xingu.
Fire in the Forest | Film in Virtual Reality
Filmed in virtual reality, this short length documentary portrays the Waurá people, an indigenous ethnic group made up of 560 individuals who live in the Xingu Indigenous Reserve, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. The film shows daily life in the village of Piyulaga and how the indians preserve their traditional culture – while also incorporating habits and technology from white man. The story raises awareness about the out-of-control fires resulting from deforestation around the reserve. Besides their impact in climate change, these fires threaten the forest and life as a whole in the Xingu Reserve.

Cindy and I saw Xingu some time ago, it's not like a typical
Hollywood movie, and at times it is a bit slow, but we both liked it.
“Xingu” tells the inspiring true story of the three Villas Bôas brothers, who became the leading advocates for Brazil’s Amazonian Indians, an effort that culminated in the founding of a mammoth tribal preserve.
The Xingu National Park (Parque Nacional Xingu) (pronounced [ʃĩˈɡu]) is a national park created in 1961 in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Its purposes are to protect the environment and the indigenous peoples of the area.
Well worth seeing..

Debate: Aproximações ao perspectivismo
Abertura e primeira mesa do seminário “Variações do Corpo Selvagem: Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, fotógrafo, com Patrice Maniglier, Tânia Stolze Lima e Renato Sztutman, realizado em outubro de 2015 no Sesc Ipiranga.
Na mesa Aproximações ao perspectivismo foram discutidas questões como: o que traz de novo o perspectivismo ameríndio, tal como teorizado por Viveiros de Castro, para a Antropologia, seu campo de origem, mas também para as demais ciências humanas? Viveiros de Castro, também filósofo? Viveiros de Castro, pensador político?
A abertura do seminário contou com falas de Danilo Santos de Miranda, diretor regional do Sesc São Paulo, Eduardo Sterzi e Veronica Stigger, curadores da exposição, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, antropólogo e André Vallias, lendo o poema Totem.
Foram dois dias do evento que reuniu antropólogos e pesquisadores de outras áreas, especialmente do campo artístico, com o objetivo de analisar o alcance da obra de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro e sua teoria no pensamento contemporâneo.
O seminário integrou a programação paralela à exposição “Variações do Corpo Selvagem: Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, fotógrafo. Com curadoria do escritor e crítico literário Eduardo Sterzi e da escritora e crítica de arte Veronica Stigger, a mostra exibiu cerca de 400 registros fotográficos feitos pelo antropólogo e teve ampla programação com apresentações artísticas.

Mark Plotkin: What the people of the Amazon know that you don’t
The greatest and most endangered species in the Amazon rainforest is not the jaguar or the harpy eagle, says Mark Plotkin, It's the isolated and uncontacted tribes. In an energetic and sobering talk, the ethnobotanist brings us into the world of the forest's indigenous tribes and the incredible medicinal plants that their shamans use to heal. He outlines the challenges and perils that are endangering them — and their wisdom — and urges us to protect this irreplaceable repository of knowledge.

AvecitaChicchon speaking at the 64th Annual Conference of the Center for Latin American Studies
In recent years, there have been significant changes in the practice of environmental conservation approaches. The practice of conservation is straightforward in the context of place-based approaches. The stewardship of biodiversity, forests, and natural resources in general is usually in the hands of local stakeholders such as indigenous peoples, local governments and civil society. For many years, conservation efforts in the Amazon have been mainly focused on creating protected areas and securing land tenure of indigenous lands. However, it has become more evident that local approaches are not enough. These approaches need to scale up and draw national and international constituencies to ensure durable conservation solutions. The forces that trigger the profound and more permanent transformation of a landscape are usually not local and the connections may be far away in other continents. Land use change is shaped by national and global economic conditions that are better addressed in a systemic way with a variety of stakeholders that are uncommon allies, such as the private sector. By focusing on the expansion of agriculture, cattle ranching and infrastructure in the Amazon, we will explore ways to test solutions that include unlikely allies for conservation. Corporation commitments to source commodities from deforestation-free areas may be the necessary complement to place-based approaches that would allow for a comprehensive conservation solution in the Amazon.
Xingu Kayapo Tribee Don Quixote of the jungle part 5
A tribe is viewed, developmentally or historically, as a social group existing before the development of, or outside, states. A tribe is a group of distinct people, dependent on their land for their livelihood, who are largely self-sufficient, and not integrated into the national society. It is perhaps the term most readily understood and used by the general public. Stephen Corry, director of Survival International, the world's only organisation dedicated to indigenous rights, defines tribal people as those who ...have followed ways of life for many generations that are largely self-sufficient, and are clearly different from the mainstream and dominant society.[1] This definition, however, would not apply in countries in the Middle East such as Iraq, where the entire population is a member of one tribe or another, and tribalism itself is dominant and mainstream.
There are an estimated one hundred and fifty million tribal individuals worldwide,[2] constituting around forty percent of indigenous individuals. Although nearly all tribal people are indigenous, some are not indigenous to the areas where they now live.
The distinction between tribal and indigenous is important because tribal peoples have a special status acknowledged in international law. They often face particular issues in addition to those faced by the wider category of indigenous peoples.
Many people used the term tribal society to refer to societies organized largely on the basis of social, especially familial, descent groups (see clan and kinship). A customary tribe in these terms is a face-to-face community, relatively bound by kinship relations, reciprocal exchange, and strong ties to place.[3]
Tribe is a contested term due to its roots of being defined by outsiders during the period of colonialism. The word has no shared referent, whether in political form, kinship relations or shared culture. Some argue that it conveys a negative connotation of a timeless unchanging past.[4][5][6] To avoid these implications, some have chosen to use the terms ethnic group, or nation instead.
The ethnic groups of Africa number in the thousands, each generally having its own language (or dialect of a language) and culture. The ethnolinguistic groups include various Afro-Asiatic, Indo-European, Khoisan, Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan populations.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
The Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo Biological Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Biológica Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo) is a biological reserve in the state of Pará, Brazil. The reserve protects an area in the transition between the Cerrado and Amazon biomes, supporting highly diverse flora and fauna including many endemic species. It is accessible via the BR-163 highway, and is among the federal conservation units in the Amazon Legal that has suffered most from deforestation.
