Manage episode 272779408 series 2607362
Our discussion today with Bintou Camara is filled with precious insights about the urgent sustainability issues faced by indigenous communities in Guinea, West Africa. Every day, these vulnerable groups confront the dangers posed to their social, economical, and spiritual lives by the mining activities in the territories they occupy. As animists, indigenous communities are deeply connected to and dependent on the natural environment, but the intense exploitation of bauxite leads to deforestation, water blockages, and land occupation. Bintou sheds light on the NGO activities she leads in the area that aim to preserve indigenous languages and spirituality. Also, we will reflect on the need for leaders and mediators who can include indigenous people at roundtable discussions about the future of their country. Learn all about these issues and many more in the full episode. Enjoy!
What you'll learn:
- How indigenous languages and spirituality in Guinea are threatened by natural resource exploitation;
- What types of projects are developed in endangered areas to communicate and protect indigenous communities rights;
- How we can involve indigenous communities in economic activities in a way that benefits them;
- And much more!
