Science, Culture, & Environment
and cultural survival through partnerships with indigenous peoples
About
Las Lianas
Las
Lianas Resource Center works for environmental preservation,
sustainable
development, and cultural survival in partnership with indigenous
Amazonian
peoples. We are guided by
a mission that weaves together three complementary goals:
1)Support
autonomy of indigenous peoples and other place-identified peoples
managing
the land democratically and sustainably.
2)Work
for environmental preservation locally, regionally, and internationally
3)Value
traditional knowledge and combine it with modern science in innovative
technologies appropriate for a sustainable and just world.
Las
Lianas was founded in 2003 to continue work begun in 1997 by the Amazon
Project of the Institute for Science and Interdisciplinary Studies. The
Resource Center brings together a small group of North and South
American
scientists, lawyers, and other specialists dedicated to supporting the
autonomy of indigenous Amazonian peoples and to protecting the
rainforest
that sustains their lives and cultures.
