Abstract

A Kukama leader, Mariluz Canaquiri Murayari is a lifelong river defender, and leading the movement to protect the Maranon River and the rights of her people. The recognition made in this decision has critical value. It is yet another opportunity to keep fighting and claiming our rights. Our work is fundamental for Peru and the world: to protect our rivers, our territories, our own lives, all of humanity, and the living beings of Mother Nature,” says Mariluz Canaquiri Murayari, speaking on the historic decision granting legal personhood to the Marañón River in Peru and recognizing the Peruvian government and its Indigenous communities as the river’s guardians and representatives.
