Blog Post 3 – Indigenous People in Latin America

As part of the seminar preparation for week 4 I researched the different issues facing indigenous communities in Latin America and the Caribbean. One of the issues I concentrated on was deforestation and the loss of indigenous land. I looked on the webpage Servindi for articles relating to this struggle in Peru. The first article which grabbed my attention was one which was published on the 30th September 2021. The article highlights the struggle of the Shipibo people who have many communities losing their land to large companies. After reading this article I reflected on the key issues and themes. I find it very shocking that many communities are still losing their land to multinational companies and disappointing that it is not reported on as much that it should be.
