Huottuja Foundation (Piaroa People)
#SDGAction43348
    Description
    Intro

    Partnership Executive Summary

    Our project addresses climate change by providing ecosystem services actively mitigating 100 million tons per year of atmospheric carbon dioxide with carbon sequestration in a natural carbon sink (biodiversity region) that is managed and occupied by the Indigenous Huottuja-De’aruhua Tribe (Piaroa People) of Colombia and Venezuela. Their idea is to derive value from the ecosystem services they provide to the planet using a sui generis model for providing carbon sequestration credits and implementing the funds.

    Under international law and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP), the Piaroa currently have two options: 1) they can deal with the red-tape of international regulatory agencies, the state and a carbon registry, or 2) they can do it themselves by enlisting the support of other organizations to create a sui generis legal method and system to generate their own carbon credit certificates from land conservation titles using their court.

    They will be ready in August of 2022 to take on new partners and sponsors now that they have engaged a legal documentation agent, established an international foundation for the tribe with an offshore sponsor, created a website and sui generis patent method for establishing PES Agreements which yield carbon credits from ecosystem services. They also established a Civil Court and Special Indigenous Jurisdiction in law, which has been recognized by the state.

    Partnership and sponsorship opportunities are available in forest monitoring, conservation management, biodiversity, climate observation, agroforestry, sustainable civil design, and zero-carbon solar powered community facilities. Sponsors are needed to push forward the prototype model with blockchain technology that will be both necessary and practical. It is not easy to take the carbon credits produced by the agroforestry, biodiversity and ecotourism property managed by Indigenous peoples providing ecosystem services. There are many steps that need to be taken in order to prove the carbon sequestration asset is viable, a title or license needs to be originated for the conservation.

    If you do not have 1 billion dollars per year to offset 100 million tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide, neither do we, that is why we are here trying to sell the carbon sequestration services being provided by the Piaroa People. There are other ways to partner with us, maybe you have a need to offset 3,500,000 tons of CO2e from 100 km² of biodiversity area by 2023 for $ [?] per ton (current carbon offset cost per ton is $7-$16), this is only type of PES Agreement available, it is for all the ecosystem services within a 100 km² block (100,000 ha). Then there is the work of auditing, inventorying, and the activities across the 247,000 acres of the block in order to create verified carbon sequestration licenses (titles).

    Overview

    Effective Date: August 01, 2022

    As it is with Indigenous Peoples, particular guidelines must be followed in order to maintain, preserve and avoid violating their rights; which are indivisible; interdependent and interrelated in human rights law; but moreover with Indigenous peoples inalienable, irrevocable, and inextricably intertwined with culture, customs, heritage, intellectual property and native territory. In law there is a provision which states that sovereign Indigenous peoples rights are collective rights that must be exercised collectively, and likewise it must be clear that doing business with Indigenous peoples you are dealing with a “legal cooperative” membership organization, which in essence is manifested as a foundation offshore and recognized as a tributary state which is enclaved by two other states.

    Legally speaking consumers and users of ‘all these things’ sourced or originated today internationally by Indigenous tribes requires Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), this includes all Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), it is implicit when paying for goods and services in person within their territory; whereas states, corporations, NGOs and other organizations that are engaged in commercial activity require a Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) Agreement which incorporates an Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) mechanism. 

    Currently the Piaroa derive some benefit from providing ecosystem services; periodically they host tourists, they plant trees, restore their concucos, and they produce over 100 tons of cacao, cupuacu, manaca, seje and other fruits. They also harvest medicinal plants, honey and herbs for making traditional remedies. They have seen artwork and traditional items imitated which originate with them.    

    The Huottuja Foundation is pioneering new partnerships with states and corporations that want to export their atmospheric carbon which cannot be contained to their offshore biodiversity protectorate to deliver effectual carbon credit results administering an area that is 6,928 km² with Indigenous conservation officers and to provide effective ecosystem management and protection of up to 35,098 km² under Indigenous Jurisdiction.

    We changed the title, scope, perspective and have updated our "5000 Square Kilometer Ecosystem Protectorate and Indigenous Agroforestry Sustainable Development Project for the Piaroa of the Western Guiana Highlands" to become the ''33,000+ Square Kilometer Huottuja-De'aruhua (Piaroa People) Cultural, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Management Program'' which takes into consideration other US laws, international ISO and OECD standards, guidelines, regulations and requirements used to create, generate and measure ecosystem services. It also makes the foundation responsible for delineating any ambiguous national, non-governmental and state claims to protected or marginal areas within the Piaroa Territory. The actual size of the protectorate area has increased to 6,928 km² and it overlaps with the most traditional territory, where some tribal members have refused contact and have self-isolated, these communities must be irrevocably protected.

    We adjusted our vision by forming the Huottuja Foundation (an Offshore Corporate Partnership of the Piaroa People) to protect Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) under the laws of the United States and European Union which implicitly treat the people and culture, and the tribe as a collective entity, in this case a corporation manifested to exercise legal rights in commerce, copyright, discoveries, genetic resources, inventions, heritage, property, traditions, and trademarks, among other things as a source or origin. Our new perspective based on Indigenous Peoples Rights exercised as a corporate foundation under the Convention of Biological Diversity allows the foundation to create Access and Benefit Sharing Agreements (ABS), provide Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), implement an Indigenous Research Protection Act (IRPA), implement an Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property Reconciliation (ICIPR) Act, and provide ecosystem services such as ecotourism, non-wood products, water resources and carbon sequestration credits from the areas the areas we will be managing. The partnership is ready for investors and new partners.

    Notice: By 2023, SDG implementation in Venezuela will be co-driven by an alliance of civil society, economics and academies through NGO initiatives appointing to achieve the 17 SDGs by 2030. Around each one of the 17 SDGs communities will be formed to communicate on virtual platforms and forums (round tables), as well as promote and support each other. Venezuela does not have carbon legislation, but it may have it soon. AN Proyecta Ley de Cambio Climático. - Observatorio de Ecología Política de Venezuela June 2022

    "We want to be able to count and receive directly in our hands, the financial and material resources so we can efficiently execute our projects. We know how to count, the Piaroa have a government, a court and have been to the university." -Huottuja-De'aruhua Tribe, July 2022 

    Description
    Development of a sustainable protection zone of 5,000 square kilometers that provides biosphere and ecosystem services internationally that is controlled, owned and managed by the Piaroa inhabitants that live there through this partnership. To help them offset and finance their economic shortfalls through international cooperation partnerships to issue carbon trading certificates to finance agroforestry installations and engage in other partnerships with various United Nations agencies and partners.

    ➤ Partner with us to assist the indigenous Piaroa of the Northern Amazon in Venezuela living in 13 remote forest communities (settlements) to protect their native land rights and revitalize their agricultural production to make their communities ecologically and economically sustainable while addressing 12 of the 17 SDGs. The project will promote common values in agroecology, biodiversity, land protection and forest management through an assimilated indigenous scouting program and a local agricultural extension service.

    ➤ Through a partnership in this initiative over 500 people will escape poverty in their own communities by gaining access to running water, sanitary bath houses, community centers, local employment and an authoritative educational module operated by well-educated local figures promoting indigenous culture and language non-politically and non-religiously. The long term relationships that will follow and can evolve will be the most important.

    ➤ The project focus covers an area of over 5,000 square kilometers and creates sustainable socioeconomic alternatives in their forest communities for their agricultural production by providing an avenue to the global market for their cacao, cupuacu and exotic fruit products. The project monitors and prevents illegal mining and deforestation among other objectives.

    Capacity

    Globcal International is a subsidiary and supporting organization of Ecology Crossroads, it is connected through a decentralized network of Goodwill Ambassadors located in Canada, Europe, the United States and other countries. Several of our members are professional foreign civil service officers, ambassadors or consulates, our members who are involved in law, human rights, science and other disciplines focused on providing guidance as necessary to develop, exercise and foster the Indigenous, natural, moral, economic, human and civil rights of the Huottuja-De'aruhua Tribe (Piaroa People).

    Coordination mechanisms

    Globcal International is a decentralized autonomous and international civil society organization of benign non-state actors trained in international cooperation and diplomacy, (Goodwill Ambassadors), which consolidated in 2020 to become a part of Ecology Crossroads Cooperative Foundation (ECCF) established by Col. David J. Wright in 1994; it was incorporated as part of ECCF to project a variety of supplemental assistance initiatives to popular human and environmental rights areas to form an international civil team effort that could address the top 30 world issues identified by the United Nations through online programs in the social media and through its members abroad, only now is it taking on new character with Indigenous Peoples and the Global Goals.

    Ecology Crossroads is based in Kentucky and is dedicated to the development of international missions, programs and projects that protect the environment and promote sustainable ecological values. Globcal International (a subsidiary of ECCF) ensures all coordination and documentation activities are being conducted and elaborated online using premium services and tools provided through TechSoup, Google Workspace for Non-Profits, Workplace by Meta, and Trello. Efforts are made to additionally coordinate some of our activities with volunteers using popular social media channels like Meta for Business, Twitter, and LinkedIn. All projects are initially developed using the requirements for a Meta (Facebook Page).

    Additional information

    Huottuja-De’aruhua (Piaroa People)

    The Huottuja Foundation was developed to serve the sustainable development and economic social needs of the Piaroa People of Colombia and Venezuela across a vast territory of over 33,000 square kilometers. The foundation was formed as a commission of Globcal International providing the commissioners (members of the Piaroa Tribe) with extrajurisdictional authority under Ecology Crossroads in the United States as their program sponsor. The idea of self-governance and an offshore foundation has caught on as the best method for Indigenous Peoples to exercise their natural and civil rights as legal corporations.

    The organization is established specifically to address the sustainable development goals partnership as an offshore corporation because of the political instability and sanctions imposed against Venezuela, which the Indigenous Huottuja are exempt from as Amerindians and as a non-governmental entity of the state. The organization supports demarcation and delineation of sovereign Indigenous territory to distinguish it from national parks, national monuments, state roads property, private property, mapping programs, and land use projects operated by trained conservation and wildlife officers; on a community by community basis addresses water and sanitation projects; also each community is eligible for conservation grants.

    Ethnonyms: Huottuja-De’aruhua is the English endonym of the Piaroa People which is an exonym designated during colonial times. The Huottuja are also known as the Huottüją, Huottöja, Huottųją and Wothuha, Uwottüja, Uwotjüja, Uwotjuja or Uwottuja, also Wotiheh, Uhothuha, Wóthuha is most popularly written as Huottuja or Piaroa (in American English), are also known as the De'aruhua or De'aruwa, or with the universal phonetic alphabet Wötʰïhä or De'atʰïhä.
