We recognize:
1 .- The assessment and give the excellence appropriate to the knowledge of our ancient civilizations, indigenous people and compassions, useful for the understanding of our agricultural biodiversity threatened by climate change.
2 .- The fact accompany the social forces of change considering the wide participation, training and effective implementation of actions to mitigate climate change and mitigate the consequences arising.
3 .- The lack of global leadership and political will and appropriate and efficient strategies to combat the causes and deal with the consequences of climate change.
4 .- The receipt of the intergenerational transfer of traditional knowledge to future generations and our intercultural tropical basis of the culture of life, which is threatened by irreversible climate changes which are here to stay
5 .- Financial speculation raised in the marketing of carbon sinks.
6 .- The loss of our biological resources and their livelihood and the loss of agricultural biodiversity which will potentially undermine governments in the management of public policies.
7 .- The presence of agro ecological public policies to prevent, correct and mitigate the impacts of energy and pollutants in soil degradation.
8 .- That climate change affect our territories unevenly breaking the relationship of ecological, social, economic and spiritual.
9 .- The rates continue to suffer hunger, particularly those associated with climate change, droughts, floods and other natural phenomena, which generates more insecurity, poverty and exclusion.
10 .- The energy waste and the plundering of the natural elements requires that industrial agriculture, producing 34% of greenhouse gases trapping demonstrating the scientific models mean dominant agricultural production technology.
11 .- The changes in the processes of flowering and ripening of different species of food and medicinal plants, which are affecting production in different areas of the agricultural economy and, consequently, food security and sovereignty.
12 .- The human society must be proactive and act on social and environmental shocks that generate the migrations caused by environmental problems.
13 .- Some principles that we must take into account in our actions as precautionary, zero irreversibility, sustainable harvest, sustainable emptying where the exploitation of resources is less than the renewal fee.
Proposed obligations or duties:
1. Reduce consumption of goods and services because as that happens there will be greater use of natural elements and further contamination of them by using natural means such as sinks of gaseous, liquid and solid wastes generated by human activities.
In addition to reuse and recycle solid waste.
2. Eat more natural products agro ecological directly because it would allow energy savings in agricultural and industrial processes.
3. Educating the human consciousness through the integration of feeling, thinking and acting in person in order to educate for life in order to achieve a responsible individual with the care of mother earth.
4. Implement and consolidate knowledge, law, technology, social organization, policies, plans, programs and projects to reduce, control and adapt to climate change.

7. Order recognition and compensation from the nations most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions in general invernadero.Y any project involving the use of natural resources

9. Prohibit the use of environmentally hazardous final that will increase the current consequences caused by climate change, the high level of residual contamination and irreversible effects and inter-acting with the environment and human health hazardous technologies like nuclear energy, testing military, befouls, carbon sequestration, nanotechnology and GM and other technologies.
10. Promote, promote, consolidate and widespread use of appropriate technologies, endogenous and environmentally sustainable, which serve as antidotes in the recovery and preservation of natural resources, especially forests and water. Other technologies such as the use of solar, wind, water and biogas, and energy savings in the production of biomass should encourage its use.
11. Promote, promote and practice tirelessly agro ecological techniques, in order to achieve the production of oxygen, water, soil and food to satisfy vital human needs, in order to definitively establish the foundation for food security and sovereignty of the world population.
12. Require and encourage productive initiatives and training processes and promoting research in the area of agricultural biodiversity, which is the main eco-material base of science and agro-ecological technology.
13. Introduce measures for the use and distribution of land and other natural resources on improving production and capacity use of agricultural biodiversity, based on knowledge and dialogue of traditional and ancestral knowledge.
14. Ensuring gender equality in political participation spaces and productive partner relationships in promoting intercultural harmony and with integrity with the ecosystem.
15. Reevaluate the immense variety of tropical agricultural biodiversity based on our sovereignty and security of food, giving the social prestige and the collective benefit of the original preservative (indigenous and peasants) who, in their customary work and harmonious with nature, force us to interpret emerging rights they reflect on the long and historical evolution.
16. Adaptability strategies make social, environmental and productive in our social spaces, from the assessment and ongoing discussion of the many complexities caused by climatic changes.
17. Forming local and grassroots groups to promote dynamic social mobilization and training in addressing the crisis at all levels, from the perspective of children, men, women, indigenous peoples and future generations, among others.
18. Fight for offering opportunities for participation, social development and exercising at any level would control the national, regional and local, community, public policies to reduce climate change.
19. Should be effectively integrated conservation, preservation and sustainable use of agro biodiversity to any of the policies, plans, programs and public and private projects as a strategy for – effective and substantially – to reduce climate change and reducing hunger and poverty.
20. Declare by the American people to the Amazon jungle as an area of vital importance in the regulation of climate change in our countries and vital organ of the Pachamama.
21. Support measures to create in Venezuela the National Park Acura as the only park that includes a large river basin and represent the largest national park in the world in tropical forest.
22. Prevent the installation of nuclear plants in Latin America for the dangers of radioactive contamination on the other hand there is no adequate treatment of radioactive waste, which are to be buried in the ground or sink to the bottom of the oceans.
23. Realizing integrated conservation, preservation and sustainable use of agro biodiversity
This statement was discussed in six working groups for 84 participants, organized by the OPIATE, COPAL, 20 March 2010 in Mirada, Venezuela.
