The general agenda proposed by the Asháninka for this 2nd workshop is to create an exhibition and archive of photographs and information regarding the most ecologically and culturally important trees and plants in their forest.

The results will be used by the Asháninka for education and advocacy (e.g. within TSIMI’s newly established Centre for Rainforest Education and Interpretation) and presented to:

• 20 Asháninka villages
• local indigenous organizations
• advocacy groups within Latin America
• local and national government
