Seven hydropower projects along the Likhu River in eastern Nepal have adversely impacted Indigenous and local communities who live in and near the project sites but have received little attention. Likhu River is a hydropower hub and a recent field study conducted by a team from Kathmandu of the area found that the construction of these disruptive hydropower projects were shrouded in secrecy and deceit to Indigenous and local communities.

Hacer Radio es Expresión de Rebeldía?
A propósito de que este 13 de febrero conmemoramos el Día Mundial de la Radio, queremos hablarles sobre Radio de Derechos Indígenas (RDI), un programa de promoción y difusión de Derechos, idiomas y culturas, promovido por Cultural Survival (CS), en el que visualizamos un mundo en el que las comunidades Indígenas generen su propia información equipadas con el conocimiento de sus derechos y la puesta en práctica de habilidades técnicas en producción radiofónica y comunicación comunitaria Indígena.

Indigenous communities are powerhouses of knowledge, abundance, resilience, and resources. It is time to harness that power and shift the narrative of taking, exploitation, and degradation to a narrative and practice of caring, regeneration, and giving back to communities and Mother Earth. In the latest issue of the Cultural Survival Quarterly magazine, we share the stories of Indigenous entrepreneurs and leaders who are making an immense difference in uplifting their communities on their own terms, and according to Indigenous values and principles, from a place of abundance.
