  • Marco Rosalio Duarte laughs "Get that horse out of my picture!" <br />
<br />
Marco Rosalio is one of the leaders of the Federation of Pech Tribes in Honduras, I interview him in Pueblo Nuevo Subirana, an hour from Dulce Nombre de Culmí, Olancho, Honduras.<br />
<br />
The village has 850 inhabitants, almost all of them are indigenous Pech. There are only 6,000 Pech people. <br />
<br />
"About a quarter of the people in the village speak Pech as their mother tongue, everyone speaks a bit. Pech is taught now in the schools, but most people communicate with Spanish, particularly the young people."<br />
<br />
"The village is surrounded by forest, mainly broadleaf but some pine. The area is now a protected area, the National Congress recently approved it."<br />
<br />
"There are flaws in the reservation agreement. There are 16 white ladino families inside this new anthropological reservation, they have a bit of money too, and it's harder to move rich people than poor people in this country. It will be very hard to move them."<br />
<br />
"For protecting our area, we are threatened. Some families have entered our territory recently and have cut down forest and burned the trees to make pastures for cattle. Their intention is to make money. Our intention is to protect the environment, the forest, the water. We've made declarations to the police, and those people will go to court. This isn't the normal way of doing things here, a lot of violence is used, that's the mentality here. Berta Cáceres is just one of hundreds of people who've been killed for protecting the environment and indigenous rights. At the moment we have death threats against us for trying to protect the environment and our territory. We insist on the use of law to resolve these problems."

  • Clearing land left fallow for seven years. Six or seven years of fallow keeps this land fertile, and makes the farming sustainable, but the clearance is tough work. The farmers use machetes called guarisamas, with very long heavy blades. This farm, belonging to Lázaro Adalid Zablah, a participant in programmes sponsored by World Renew, is near Los Charcos, Olancho.

I’ve worked on making unproductive land productive by using conservation agriculture techniques, I’ve worked on diversification, grafting, everything they’ve taught me, I’m using it. We’ve turned useless land, that no one could farm, into productive land, the technique is hard work at first, to make the holes for the compost, but it really works, everyone is impressed".

  • I’m Reina Isabal Calix, I’m a survivor of the massacre of Santa Clara and Horcones. The massacre happened on the 25 June 1975. There was a plan by landowners and military, Coronel Chinchilla. They confused work for the common good with work for communism. We were working for the common good. They prepared to crush us. We were a group of religious people, priests, farmers, women. We were struggling for agrarian reform. All we really wanted was for people to have enough land to plant food for themselves, to have their daily bread, for their children and families. We were united, teachers, poor farmers, young people, students, workers, priests. It was a big struggle, but they wanted to crush it. <br />
<br />
There was a Colombian priest here called Ivan Betancourt. There was also an American priest called Casimiro Zypher. They were both killed too, along with the campesinos and students. <br />
<br />
At that time, speaking about the common good, was like promoting communism. There was a plan, to destroy everything we were doing and slow down the agrarian reform. <br />
<br />
We had a shop, radiofonica school, they killed the person who ran it. We used to train carpenters and mechanics here.<br />
<br />
We planned a march, 5000 people came. They couldn’t stop it. But, the soldiers came in here using students as a cover, it was a trick. Three people died right here, in the centre. <br />
<br />
Others were taken to the prison. Father Casimiro died being tortured during interrogation. Later they took them to a farm, and most were killed there, they threw the bodies down a well. Fourteen people were killed.
