Project description
Safeguarding cultural rights amidst environmental chaos
With escalating environmental crimes and human-induced disasters, the plight of local communities remains a pressing concern. The devastating 2015 Fundão Dam collapse is an example, having tainted 650 km of Brazil’s Doce River with hazardous waste and affecting the lives of 1.6 million people living in its watershed. Among the most affected are indigenous and Afro-indigenous communities, whose cultural heritage has been harmed. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the Mother Earth project will study how environmental degradation encroaches upon the cultural life of indigenous and Afro-indigenous peoples in Brazil and Colombia. This initiative seeks to comprehend the cultural rights violations and also co-create a toolkit together with these communities to help them better cope with the challenges.
Objective
Increasingly serious environmental crimes and large-scale human-induced disasters generate harm that impacts local communities. For instance, in 2015, the Fundo Dam collapse contaminated 650 kilometres of the Doce River with toxic residues, affecting the life of 1.6 million people living in the watershed. Among them, indigenous and afro-indigenous peoples have their life and culture impacted. This project seeks to understand and conceptualise what indigenous and afro-indigenous peoples cultural rights are affected by environmental degradation in Brazil and Colombia. It aims to co-develop with local communities in those countries a toolbox to identify and protect their cultural rights and to claim redress for cultural losses.
