Indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon are vulnerable to climate change impacts. A pilot study used participatory research tools including PhotoVoice and rapid rural appraisal to understand health priorities and climate adaptation among the Shipibo-Konibo and Shawi peoples. In Panaillo, a Shipibo-Konibo community, photos highlighted threats from water pollution, declining fish and agriculture due to flooding and drought, and resulting nutritional issues. Risk ranking identified water and health as top concerns. Preliminary results from Nuevo Progreso with the Shawi people also identified climate-related health vulnerabilities. The study aims to inform climate adaptation strategies to better support indigenous health in the region.

“Landscapes of water, source of life”
Communities and Traditional water management systems 12-13 July 2013, Vitoria-Gasteiz. Álava. País Vasco. España
www.vallesalado.com
The ancient traditions that survive in Valle Salado, the judicious management that has survived for centuries and the social structures that emerged and that have developed, make it a perfect example of a sustainable landscape that should serve as a driving force for future local development.
Fundación Valle Salado would like to encourage, at this International Conference, a discussion on different aspects related to Water Landscapes and to traditional Water management systems that are vital to communities. We would also like to share our experience with other systems that are based on the existence, whether abundant or scarce, of water, thereby achieving an international component through the desire to establish bonds of cooperation and collaboration.
Water for Life will be, during this Conference, the key element of communities that base their lifestyles on understanding its management, not only to ensure their food but also the survival of their knowledge, their traditions, their culture, in short, their identity.
Freshwater Molluscs distribution and diversity status of Nakana Lake, Dhule, were studied during June 2013 to May 2014. The samples were collected at every fortnight from two sites. A total of 13 species were reported, out of which 10 species were Gastropods and three species were Pelecypods; those belonged to four orders, 10 families and 12 genera. The abundance of molluscs was also studied. The average number of animals were indicated per season: i.e. monsoon, winter and summer. Maximum species were collected in the summer season at both the sites. Molluscan diversity were calculated by the various diversity indices such as Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H), Simpson’s Dominance index (D), Simpson’s index of diversity (I-D), Simpson’s Evenness(E) and Pielou’s Evenness index (J).
Tansi! welcome to INDG 2015. This term I’m opening up some aspects of the course to the public. So feel free to read along with whichever texts you can. I’ll post weekly versions of the course powerpoints, with links, discussion questions and summaries of the materials. Feel free to share your thoughts about (and/or artistic, audio-visual or other responses to) the week’s readings and concepts using the hashtag #INDG2015 on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. If I have the capacity throughout the term, I may also upload some other materials as we go. We’re so excited to have you join us in thinking through these important ideas.

3. Research Objectives Aim: Explore vulnerability and adaptation of Shipibo-Konibo and Shawi health to climate change Objectives: Identify: a) health priorities b) vulnerability to climate stressors Characterize indigenous health systems
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.”

Tiene algunas vacas, pero dicen que el pasto no es bueno8. Hay cochas alrededor de sus casas con muchos zancudos9. Ahora se debe caminar mas de 3 horas para cazar (mitayo), antes era menos10. La gente suele tener alrededor de 12 hijos, pero estos se mueren al menos la mitad, y los abuelitos cuidan a los ninios, se mueren de fiebres y otras enfermedades11.
