He is going to be studying the social conditions of these poor migrant farmers in order that their voice may be heard in the conversation about deforestation. The rhetoric he always hears is that they "have no environmental concience" and that is why they practice slash and burn agriculture. But his observations thus far has shown it to be far more complicated - that they farm this way because they are desprately poor and lack alternatives for survival. I just spent a 3 days with a rural village which is only acessable by boat. This issue of the voicelessness and dehumanization of Latin Americans, and especially indigenous peoples, is therefore very close to our heart and I love that you are spreading the message. I love you!Pamela Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541607386997135719noreply@blogger.com
