This short hike off El Mirador on Mexico 175, past the turn-off to Comaltepec and opposite their new sawmill spans three forest types due to elevation changes on a climb that starts at 3000 meters.

We descended 40 minutes down a winding dirt road off Mexico 175 to the Chinantec community of Comaltepec, population around 2000. We joined the last day of a conference on adaptation to climate change in indigenous communities held by <a href="http://cometla.nilu.no/">COMET LA</a>, Community Based Management of Environmental Challenges in Latin America. As I understand it, COMET LA is an EU-funded research initiative based in Cordoba Spain and involving collaboration with academics, NGOs, and practitioners in Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia. Comaltepec was hosting as a sort of model for participatory and successful community decision making enabling effective natural resource development and economic gains. (Click title to read and see more.)<br />
<a name='more'></a>The conference was surprising only in its familiarity: the same language
of co-benefits, winners and losers, distribution of gains and losses,
and action in the face of uncertainty. Five and half hours of listening had my head spinning
and I had nothing but empathy for the restless high school kids in the
back of the auditorium. I was curious to know who they were and what they thought, but didn't find or make the opportunity to find out.<br />

With a missed opportunity to make the conference (itself about the importance of being participatory) participatory, the most interesting part was the town itself: how people lived, the humbling hospitality, and the striking sense
of community that even experienced in an instant was both wonderful and
oppressive, right down to the 7:30am community loudspeaker announcement
for kids to wake up and come to the music performance asap and for us to eat
breakfast there and then. Turns out most kids want to leave, go to the U.S.<br />

This earthquake-prone town got phone lines two years ago, before that young kids acted as
"topeles" (runners - apologies for the phonetic spelling) relaying messages up and down
the insanely steep
streets. (Someone who grows up doing that could become a pretty amazing endurance athlete!) The new bank of Internet-connected computers
in the main town
building has become the hangout for kids, who wear the same jeans and
clothing as every other teenager I've seen in Oaxaca, evidently live in homes
that cook hearty food on wood stoves, likely even make their own tortillas, and feast on
chips, soda, and packages of cookies during a conference break. The local coffee is Nescafe heaped with sugar. I wonder how it all fits together, the community, the hard work, the junk food, the specter of diabetes, the trash from endless bottles of bottled water drunk every day, the Internet streaming in... No fewer contradictions and complexities than anywhere else I suppose.<br />

Wednesday I traveled with the Rainforest Alliance crew into the Sierra Norte, home to many indigenous ejidos and communities (Mexico's two forms of communal land ownership), some examplars in community forestry. Winding up into the mountains 1000 meters or more from Oaxaca City's 1500m, green precipices on one side or another, signs note obviously "dangerous curve" and "winding road." A sign states, "Welcome to the best managed forests in Mexico," one that's evidently drawn the ire of the rest of Mexico. The brutally simplify, the community forest model holds that forestry provides the key for combined economic development and cultural preservation within Mexico's rural indigenous communities.

Rainforest Alliance provides technical support to communities, for
instance in building communities of practice around forest management,
disseminating information, and funding studies that inform, for example,
renovation of mills based on market data. In another program, they
certify forests that meet standards under the Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC) label for sustainable wood. In this case, we were visiting
Ixtapeji, the original gateway town the Sierra, one day by horse prior
to construction of the highway 30 years before. The path of the highway,
Mexico 175, still drew criticisms from the communities. Constructed for
timber extraction rather than community connectivity, some communities
were 20 kilometers from the road.<br />

In Ixtapeji, we visited a training workshop run by the heralded
forest-management group Uzachi (a management collaborative between four
communities) for forestry technicians, 20-25 young guys from communities
around southern Mexico here for two weeks of training. They would not
become professional foresters, but would learn basic
principles they could bring home to their communities and inform
practice. It was consistent with the participatory model of training
many locals rather than using external professionals. As Paco said,
"you've got to keep the decision-making in the community," that when you
don't accountability is lost. Eugenio from Rainforest Alliance was
particularly excited to
welcome five guys from a very rural community in Mexico state, remote
and over-regulated, extracting far less timber than it could and deeply
impoverished.<br />

My museum life is a bit unrealized, a casualty perhaps of too-long visits as a child. I'd like to visit a museum 20 minutes per day, in my ideal world. But being here, especially in the absence of sporting distractions and on a rainy day, I'm hard-pressed to make excuses. And so, the <a href="http://www.sic.gob.mx/ficha.php?table=museo&table_id=103">Museo de Arte Prehispanico Rufino Tamayo</a>, showcasing the painter's private collection of pre-Columbian (I'm slowly learning bits of language and history) art. Way too much for a private holding- and people worry about <a href="http://crystalbridges.org/">art in Arkansas?!</a> - and once again sort of overwhelming. (Click title to read and see more.) <br />
<a name='more'></a>Next to the <a href="http://www.sic.gob.mx/ficha.php?table=museo&table_id=1093">Museo del Palacio de Gobierno</a> where I enter through the side door to avoid a student protest in this city with history of explosive protests. There I view a photography exhibit of rural livelihoods in the 1920s, peruse a mural on local history, and go to a children's museum on Oaxacan culture and natural science. I play bingo, realizing I have zip knowledge of words for practical professions such as potter, hat-maker, and tailor. Then I check out a cool exhibit on scale in the universe - reminiscent of a recent trip to the <a href="http://www.icaboston.org/">ICA</a> on infinity - and another where you insert a card for a given item (toothpaste, nails, table salt, a turtle, a tortilla...) and the associated elements light up on a grand periodic table. Then there's biodiversity, a useful topographic relief of the state of Oaxaca, DNA, and evolution. Again, sweeping!<br />

I've shown you Oaxaca as architectural paradise, cradle of early civilization, pinnacle of artisan culture, incubator of <i>nouveau</i> Mexican cuisine, explosion of light and color. At risk of appearing a <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/07/09/120709fa_fact_heller">TED groupie</a>, there's danger to a single story, in the words of novelist <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg">Chimamanda Adichie</a>, her talk hyped to fatigue among my colleagues. The city is stunningly beautiful, and more. (Click title to see more.)<br />

Tourist bonanza yesterday, eight-hour combined sight-seeing / shopping
racket worth every minute: Monte Alban, black pottery, seven-mole

the spaces between: scenes from the van, snippets of conversation, the
people. Guide Clemente went to high school in Pasendena, right near when
I lived one winter training, prefers it here. And such light, air, and
color! (Click title to see more.)<br />

Now I’ll proceed
with some reductionist explanation of complex reality of a location
buzzing for millennia and understood through a language I speak
terribly. At least I’m not a <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/30/jonah-lehrer-resigns-from-new-yorker-after-making-up-dylan-quotes-for-his-book/">staff writer</a> at the <i>New Yorker</i>. In Oaxaca for three weeks working on a project with <a href="http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/">Rainforest Alliance</a>, which works in the region in community forestry (don't you tell me your country did it first!) and forest certification under <a href="http://www.fsc.org/">FSC</a>.

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=890158938147164180" name="more"></a>Always a challenge to leap in with the appropriate
amount of interest and humility to make a contribution amid experts
who've built their careers in this area, but perhaps an outsider can add
something! At the very least the experience promises perspective and
case studies for teaching sustainability and climate change. And there's
always narrative in the absence of synthetic explanation! And so: Global travelers un-phased by the bad press, sharing tips; lost
walking back from the bank to the office on day one, street names
entwined in Oaxaca just like the cheese, Google maps unreliable and
guiding me to block sequestered in netting as a paintball war zone (my
fear of the paramilitary, safely realized), three men in a government
office help me; at the market: cocoa nibs, chilies, and moist mole in
mounds, enchilada meals for breakfast, whole yellow chickens with feet
too close to my head, TVs amid textiles as Mexico plays Olympic soccer;
wireless everywhere; buy this, buy that; <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Templo_de_Santo_Domingo_de_Guzm%C3%A1n_%28Oaxaca%29">Santo Domingo</a>; light, color, predictable downpours, VW bugs, and fireworks; <a href="http://bittman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/30/market-driven-oaxaca-style/">food</a>
a mix of fresh cuisine inspiring expat cooking classes, ubiquitous
street food - pastries and quesadillas with salsa, guacamole and eek
mayonnaise, dubious refrigeration, and a dose of economic reality; a
dizzying tour of the <a href="http://www.sic.gob.mx/ficha.php?table=museo&table_id=105">Cultural Museum of Oaxaca</a>, a primer for <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Alb%C3%A1n">Monte Alban</a>; and the Sierra in the distance.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVjOa_Go6vlIZE5OvXBEzQHB96PTnW8yHKEqt2_lrhUTnW1jRoY0z57jEsXQsCpDi_-SQwXyPPF6VVjnJudrQuSK0Z7U4tYS90I54w8rqGuDs-Wgpxh5LP9Q80c7xuRamw3Kud9ptros0/s1600/IMG_4231.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These coffee plants date to 1973! And still produce good coffee. After a morning tour, we played hearts back to Uberlandia and flew to Sao Paolo, into the regional airport amid skyscrapers downtown in this believably-third-largest global city. (click title to see more)<br />

near Uberlandia (embarrassing to realize I don't actually know where I was, a definite peril of group travel...). Greening the economy, markets as part of the solution, green bottom line, triple bottom line, power of consumers, you heard it before but this place really seems to do great work. They were the first certified coffee farm
in Brazil, with over 10,000 hectares of coffee, and sell globally to
roasters. Business practice involves significant social responsibility, with
foundation work in public education and public service, and 50% of the
farm acreage set aside as natural conservation areas, above the mandate
of 25% plus riparian buffers. Not to mention the acclaim for their high
quality coffee (though I'll acknowledge mixed results of our cupping
exercise and discriminating coffee noses...) Fire from cigarettes thrown from the road (not so much land clearing anymore) post a threat, as does erosion. I wracked my brain trying to remember everything I knew about nutrient pollution and waste-waste treatment, resolving some google searches upon return. (click to see more)<br />

What to note except the pride and effort, our respect for these kids, that Friere was in the library, that kids were texting or playing games on cell phones in class, that I wished they were learning English not Spanish but maybe that's my issue, and that everyone wears flip-flops. We told them the story of the student from Rio Branco at Andover, invited questions. One girl asked "how long did it take you to get here?" And then as if to challenge the nervous system, we went to Brasilia... (click to read more)<br />

An attempt at history: Envisioned by big-planning and beloved Brazilian president Kubitschek in the 60's, Brasilia was a planned capital designed to spur the Brazilian economy by making the capital more geographically centrally located. And so he commissioned a planner (Lucio Costa) and an architect (Oscar Niemeyer, now 104 and still going strong) to construct a capital on the savannah. Rivers got dammed in the shape of a bird and the city was laid out in the shape of an airplane. Federal buildings created the spine of the plane; residential complexes on the wings, all white and futuristic and seemingly uninhabited. Every apartment was the same; if you knew someone's address you knew the exact size and layout of his living space. Supposedly rumors still abound that the CIA killed Kubitschek, who died in a mysterious car accident. After a late dinner of serious conversation that ended at 11:30, we toured the city, no traffic, delirium only adding to a sensation of the bizarre...<br />

Two things I find challenging about elite education are its apparent opposition to practical knowledge learned by experience and opposition to connection to place. I've seen again and again (and surely have been) that one who waltzes and in and wrongly thinks she knows the answer. Sure insularity breeds blindness and growing up in my somewhat blighted hometown of New Lebanon, NY is enough of a lesson about distrust of outsiders, but its also true that understanding and trust take time. And sometimes the moral of fancy education seems to be that your home is your professional cohort, not any physical place, known over time. Enter the story of Nilson and Duda and Chico Mendes...

We gathered one morning before even breakfast and sufficiet coffee to hear from the brothers the story of Chico Mendes. Not that we did not know it, etched in legend and Andy Revkin's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Burning-Season-Andrew-Revkin/dp/0452274052">The Burning Season</a>, but we certainly had never encountered the first-hand narrative. Suffice it to say we were gripped for an hour and half, that Heart of Darkness had proven heart of lightness, that Nilson and Duda and this whole strapped community was walking the accountability walk given lip service at Rio +20, and that narrative, narrative, narrative, alongside science and evidence, motivates caring and we hope, action.</div>

First let me say naively that "Amazon" doesn't mean you're going to be on some giant lazy brown river with anacondas. For that you start in Manaus I think. We were 700 kilometers from the Amazon! Staying outside Xapuri in a lodge run by the cousins of Chico Mendes, Nilson and Duda Mendes. Both men show encylopedic knowledge of the forest and have little formal education. Nilson spent a year living outdoors in the Amazon at age 17 to learn, finding most experts hesitant to share the knowledge they'd learned experientially. Nilson's starred in no fewer than four movies, was invited to manage the tropical nursery at a university in Florida, but passed. (click title to see more)<br />

Driving in, so many connections to conversations and academic learning about the complicated truths of energy, land use, diet, and economic growth, not to mention renewables and the costs of Brazil's climate neutral energy sources of ethanol and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/01/opinion/sunday/the-dam-boom-in-the-amazon.html?_r=1&hp">hydropower</a>...

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Consensus held that Rio had been overwhelmed and unprepared hosting Rio
+20, lacking infrastructure and planning to manage the 50,000 visitors, with
consequences of lodging and traffic, with serious implications for the
impending 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. But security was out in full
force, with armed guard in camouflage and even barriers and diplomatic motorcades
with guards in front of the hotel and distinct military and policy presence on
streets and at tourist destinations like Corcovado. A Rio native I met who worked in the justice department
reported cynically of a tacit agreement between police and gangs,
“don’t do anything during Rio +20, then you can go back to your devices…”</span> For me it was exciting to finally see this type of event, after so much reading and teaching about events like COPs. The scale was much bigger than I'd even imagined. It's common knowledge that any productive conversations
happen behind closed doors and after hours.<br />

I traveled to Brazil last week with a dynamite group including staff from the non-profit Rainforest Alliance, which works globally on certification programs in sustainable forestry (FSC), agriculture, and tourism, a few change agents, and other teachers at Andover and elsewhere working to integrate sustainability into teaching. So so exciting, especially after all this foot drama. In town for Rio +20, but straight off the plane to Ipanema Leblon. Famed too for its violence, Rio seems repeatedly heralded by locals as the best city in the world... (click title for more)<br />
