Location

Mexico

The site of several advanced Amerindian civilizations - including the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, and Aztec - Mexico was conquered and colonized by Spain in the early 16th century. Administered as the Viceroyalty of New Spain for three centuries, it achieved independence early in the 19th century. Elections held in 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that an opposition candidate - Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) - defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He was succeeded in 2006 by another PAN candidate Felipe CALDERON, but Enrique PENA NIETO regained the presidency for the PRI in 2012. The global financial crisis in late 2008 caused a massive economic downturn in Mexico the following year, although growth returned quickly in 2010. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, high underemployment, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely indigenous population in the impoverished southern states. Since 2007, Mexico's powerful drug-trafficking organizations have engaged in bloody feuding, resulting in tens of thousands of drug-related homicides.

Mexico is a federal presidential republic.

Gobernanza Territorial Indgena para el Desarrollo Autodeterminado y la Accin Climtica

General

With Paraguay's Atlantic Forest facing extinction from deforestation and devastating fires, preserving and restoring forest reserves on indigenous lands has become critical. The Mby Guaran community faces ongoing incursions on its constitutionally-granted lands in the Atlantic Forest of the Upper Paran. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic contraction have further increased the pressure on Indigenous Paraguayans to diversify their economic activities while maintaining a sustainable approach to land management. The Federacin para la Autodeterminacin de los Pueblos Indgenas (FAPI) is an association of Paraguayan Indigenous groups that advocates for their territorial rights and supports communities to identify sustainable approaches to managing their territory. At the IAF, we support community-led approaches to improving environmental management and strengthening local governance. FAPI will support local Mby Guaran groups to develop and implement a land management plan to protect against forest fires and promote their territorial autonomy.
