Considering the importance of the peoples, the indigenous organizations, the local communities with a traditional lifestyle and their knowledge for the equilibrium of the environment, for the biodiversity and the tropical forests;

Considering that the peoples, the indigenous organizations, the local communities with a traditional lifestyle have not had and do not have a adequate participation in the discussions and decision making over the climate change, which constitutes an omission of the rights of the indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living;
Considering that the US are responsible for nearly ¼ of the emission of greenhouse gases of the planet;

Considering that the mayor tendency in the negotiations and agreements of the Kyoto protocol is oriented towards preserving the interests of the industrialized countries and corporate sectors in drawing benefits from the payment for environmental services, which would have adverse consequences for the tropical rainforests;

Considering that the MDL excludes the management and the conservation of the tropical rainforests and therefore limits the participation of indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living;

Considering the positions and the alignments taken by the majority of NGOs and that their representations do not represent our point of view in the decision making process about the negotiations and agreements of the Kyoto Protocol and its derivatives;

Considering the importance to achieve a common denominator in the comprehension of the problem of climate change and the necessity to search for solutions that include the point of view de indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living;

these are our deliberations:

1. We affirm that the full, effective and informed participation of indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living in the discussion and in the decision making in the process on the climate change in all ambits is necessary and essential.

2. The indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living represented in the Amazon Indigenous Fund on the Climate Change resolve that COICA and its member organizations must be the points of reference for the process of participation, of the socialization of information and decisions over the climate change and its mechanisms.

3. that the Amazonic governments urge the US government to ratify the Kyoto protocol.

4. that the governments facilitate the foundation of a working group on indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living in the context of the framing convention of the United Nations on the climate change
5. that mechanisms be ensured for the training and education of indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living in the Kyoto protocol.

6. that the inclusion of the conservation and management of the native tropical rainforests in the MDL, respecting our cosmovision be ensured.

7. that the MDL contemplates effectively conservation projects from within our cosmovision and sustainable development of the indigenous peoples and local communities with traditional ways of living.
