talking about change in the pilcomayo

Yann spent part of May and June talking with indigenous and criollo inhabitants of the Pilcomayo basin to better understand their livelihood and land-use history, and their current outlook on the development of their region. This is an area that has experienced massive deforestation in the last decade, and people who lived there have often been forced to leave their houses or to change their livelihoods for lack of space. Yet we don't know very much both about how these changes are experienced at the local level, and about what people's lives looked like before big ranches arrived. Through his fieldwork, Yann is collecting stories of these changes.
