- 12. 1: Water “I know this water makes my baby sick, it’s yellow and smells like iron, but we have no alternative.” “ Five more lakes have dried out this year and there were no fish in the mud.”
- 13. 3: Fishing “ He’s been looking for fish all morning (…) before the tributary had tons of fish, now it’s hard to feed our families” “ Mestizo fishers are a threat to our livelihoods (…) their nets empty our rivers of small fishes (…) they poison the water.”
- 14. 3:Agriculture “ My rice is yellowing (…) when the river flooded it brought sand rather than mud (…) I’m afraid I’ll have less tons this year.” “ Ten years ago I had beautiful bananas, not poorly developed ones like these (…) the flood destroys my bananas trees each year (…) since the big trees are gone, the soil is less fertile.”
- 15. 5:Nutrition “ During the flood all we would eat was Pan de Arbol because no bananas would grow.” “ Fish porridge is a Shipibo’s favorite food but it has no condiments.”
- 16. 6: Peoples Health “Our traditional homes are uncomfortable (…) my wife wakes up with backaches (…) when it is cold we are completes exposed and get ill.” 7: Pollution “When cars pass, they lift up all this dust that gets in everywhere, my clothes, food, and everything in my house.”
