"Here’s one of the most powerful pieces of good news you probably missed this
year: a group of Indigenous women in Peru succeeded in asserting the legal
right to integrity and protection of the Marañón River, a sacred waterway that
flows from the Andes to the Amazon. This is a significant victory for the
preservation of nature, water, forests, and biodiversity; in other words, life
itself. It’s also a big step forward in the fight against climate change, and
for the rights of nature, both topics that were debated last week at the 11th
Pan Amazonian Social Forum in Rurrenabaque, Bolivia.
The women warriors behind this legal victory—the second of its kind in Latin
America after the case of the Atrato River in Colombia—come from the Huaynakana
Kamatahuara Kana, a Kukama women’s federation in the lower Marañón Watershed."
