Very often RAIPON receives a lot of letters where indigenous peoples ask to assist them in different difficult situations. Their main problems are conflicts with authorities and oil companies in defending indigenous peoples human rights and rights on traditional life style and land use. Also we are getting many appeals related to environmental problems in regions.

In this chapter of our website we are going to inform about such “hot spots” by uploading letters and appeals of indigenous peoples; and articles, materials concerning above-mentioned problems as well.
