Paris, December 7 (PL-RHC)-- Amazonian Center of Anthropology and Practical Application, an institution that defends and fosters the rights of indigenous people, defended at the Summit on Climate Change in Paris the legal recognition of of the original territories of those communities.

Ada Chuecas, member of that center, told Prensa Latina that the indigenous people from nine countries in the Amazon seek legal security for their territories, as a way to face climate change, for the good of mankind.

They also demanded, as part of the activities by the civil society, simultaneous to the COP21, which is being held at the Paris Le Bourget Exhibition Center that the ancient indigenous knowledge about biodiversity were recognized.

If the Amazonian region still has a great biodiversity is in a great extent, due to the knowledge and close relation of indigenous people with the woods, she said.
