🌎 Reflexión desde el Perú: cuando la salud global pierde consenso 🇵🇪🌱
Durante la pandemia, la Organización Mundial de la Salud ocupó un lugar central en las decisiones sanitarias del planeta. Sin embargo, también fue uno de los organismos más cuestionados. Muchos percibieron que sus lineamientos seguían una lógica uniforme, alineada con grandes intereses farmacéuticos y económicos, dejando poco espacio para enfoques alternativos, realidades locales o debates científicos abiertos. Más allá de si esas críticas fueron justas o no, lo cierto es que la confianza se fracturó.
Hoy, cuando una de las principales potencias del mundo se distancia de la OMS, ese quiebre se vuelve evidente: ya no existe un consenso sanitario global incuestionable. La autoridad moral y técnica del organismo se debilita, y el modelo de salud centralizado entra en una fase de fragmentación, donde distintas narrativas compiten por definir qué es prevención, qué es riesgo y qué es cuidado.
Frente a este escenario, el Perú no puede limitarse a observar desde la periferia. Cada fisura en el sistema global nos obliga a mirar hacia adentro y preguntarnos: ¿qué tan preparados estamos para decidir por nosotros mismos?
Nuestro país no parte de cero. Somos una de las regiones con mayor biodiversidad del planeta y herederos de saberes ancestrales que han sostenido la salud durante siglos. Recordarlo no implica rechazar la medicina moderna, sino complementarla con criterio y contexto. La verdadera fortaleza no está en la obediencia ciega a organismos externos, sino en la capacidad de integrar ciencia, tradición y realidad local.
La pandemia dejó una lección clara: la salud puede politizarse, la información puede volverse confusa y el miedo puede nublar el discernimiento. Por eso, hoy pensar críticamente es un acto de salud pública. No se trata de creer todo ni de negarlo todo, sino de cuestionar, contrastar y exigir transparencia.
💡 Como peruanos, el llamado es claro:
Recuperar y valorar el conocimiento de nuestras plantas medicinales y prácticas tradicionales.
Fortalecer el sistema inmunológico desde la prevención, la alimentación y el equilibrio.
Exigir políticas de salud alineadas con nuestra realidad cultural, geográfica y social.
Evitar el pánico informativo y la dependencia absoluta de narratos externos.
Tal vez este momento no anuncie el caos, sino una oportunidad incómoda pero necesaria: reaprender a cuidarnos desde lo propio, con conciencia, memoria y responsabilidad. Cuando los sistemas globales se tambalean, lo local deja de ser secundario y se convierte en esencial.

Feliz Aniversario a la Comunidad Nativa Yanesha de Tsachopen que cumple 49 años de su titulación (y 3549 años de resistencia histórico cultural!)

I am an ecologist, an expert in rural development, and a lifelong advocate for sustainability.
But above all, I am also a proud member of an Amazon Indigenous community.
Today, I raise my voice alongside my Brothers and Sisters to remind the world:
🌳 Our forests are not for sale.
Violence is never the solution — yet the rage and frustration felt by so many disadvantaged people in the Amazon and other tropical forests are real, deep, and understandable.
A recent UN report revealed that Indigenous peoples safeguard 80% of the planet’s remaining biodiversity, yet receive less than 1% of international climate funding.
This is not only unfair — it’s unsustainable.
Indigenous communities are among the most impacted by climate change, precisely because their lives are intertwined with the natural environment they, WE protect.
At the ongoing COP in Brazil, there is finally space for more voices — civil society, youth, and Indigenous peoples — to speak for themselves.
The message is clear: “They cannot decide for us, without us.”
Across the conference, Indigenous groups and NGOs are showing up with strength and dignity, balancing out the armies of lobbyists who have dominated too many climate talks in the past.
This week, we will see a “People’s Summit,” youth rallies, and — arriving by river — a flotilla of 100 vessels led by our respected elders Raoni Metuktire and Davi Kopenawa Yanomami.
The Amazon is speaking. Are we ready to listen?

Since the early days of our work in 2015, we tried to inspire local farmers, conservationists and institutions to embrace permaculture and a new way of designing and managing land and territory. This year we taught a 2 days Introduction to Permaculture short course to the team and spiritual family of SITWA RAYMI Native Resort-Oxapampa in Huancabamba. Founded by Gustavo Gora (also member of 7 Elements Peru ) Sitwa Raymi is much more than a retreat center: it's a true, authentic ancestral medicine center where ancestral andean medicine and culture are preserved and shared with practitioners. Gustavo's dream is to cultivate plants and herbs to be used for the blood cleansing of young people affected by heavy metals contamination in the mining city of Cerro de Pasco . We were honoured to share something about permaculture and regeneration with Gustavo and the family and we're confident that the good seeds planted in those days will bloom with amazing outcomes soon.

Outstanding event to join - This year’s Sustainability Conference of the Jerónimo Martins Group aims to explore the vital role forests play in sustaining biodiversity, regulating the climate, and supporting the food systems we rely on.
Forests are among the most vital ecosystems on Earth. They cover nearly a third of the planet’s land surface and are home to over 80% of terrestrial species. Forests help regulate the climate, purify the air and water, prevent soil erosion, and provide livelihoods for millions of people. They are essential for biodiversity, carbon storage, and the overall health of our planet.

A fantastic study trip to learn about water management and how it is truly interconnected with peace, spirituality, and the prosperity of local communities. Humanity’s most precious resource is today threatened not only by environmental degradation and pollution, but also by corporations seeking to privatize the very source of life.
More than just a journey or a course, this is a genuine opportunity to meet in person a physician and scientist, Dr. Rajendra Singh, whose work has restored life and dignity to a drought-stricken region, helping to bring back legality and peace among local communities.

12 Ottobre 1492, cominciava l'invasione del continente americano e il più grande genocidio della storia umana. Si stima che tra l'80% ed il 95% della popolazione indigena delle Americhe perì in un periodo di tempo che va dal 1492 al 1550 per effetto di malattie e sterminio violento perpetuato dagli invasori. Circa un decimo dell'intera popolazione mondiale di allora (500 milioni circa) fu decimato. I metodi di sterminio e segregazione attuati contro i nativi americani, secondo lo studioso John Toland, vennero presi a modello (assieme al genocidio armeno e altri stermini o forme di razzismo come l'apartheid o il razzismo contro i neri e le minoranze negli Stati Uniti d'America) da Adolf Hi**er nell'attuazione dell'Olocausto contro ebrei, rom e altre minoranze etniche e politiche e, in generale, della politica razziale nella Germania nazista.Vennero ridotti in schiavitù milioni di nativi e vennero utilizzate le ricchezze del loro territorio fertile e dal sottosuolo ricchissimo, favorendo di fatto lo sviluppo economico in tutta l'Europa, e non solo in Spagna e Portogallo. I maggiori sostenitori e beneficiari di questa politica di sfruttamento furono infatti il Regno Unito, Spagna, Portogallo Francia e i Paesi Bassi. Sostanzialmente, i colonizzatori crearono un continente dal quale attingere oro, argento (utilizzando la manodopera dei nativi ridotti in schiavitù) e prodotti agricoli da monocolture (installate bruciando le foreste e le coltivazioni presenti prima dell'arrivo di Colombo). Nel 1781 verrà soffocata nel sangue la rivolta dell'ultimo grande capo nativo prima dell'era moderna, Túpac Amaru II. Nel Nord i massacri deliberati del governo degli Stati Uniti durarono sino alla fine del 1800, con uso di tecniche di guerra.biologica e deportazione forzata in campi di concentramento. Ancora oggi continua l'invasione, espropriazione e degradazione delle ultime aree selvagge della foresta amazzonica dove ancora resistono gli ultimi uomini liberi.
