Peru’s Melting Gods
Sacred water on the verge of extinction

Dharma Punks
They are young, tattooed, with piercings and shaved heads. These are punks who are tired of the consumerist trends of thinking and despise the examples their past cultural movement idols portray. In eastern spirituality and wisdom, whether Buddhism or Hinduism, these punks find the inspiration to change the world by beginning with a revolution within themselves.

La Caspienne, victime de son or noir ?
«Le rêve est devenu réalité» déclarait le Président azéri Ilham Aliev en inaugurant en mai 2005 l’oléoduc Bakou-Ceyhan. Ce nouvel oléoduc garantit à terme une exportation de 1 million de barils par jour, soit un peu plus de 1 % des 84 millions de barils produits quotidiennement dans le monde, une manne de quelques 50 milliards de dollars pour son pays dans les trente ans à venir. Mais l’addition n’est-elle pas trop lourde pour la Mer Caspienne ? Le baromètre de brut promet, soit disant, un « avenir radieux » à la « Cité des Vents », qui se réveille d’un long cauchemar où le pétrole est synonyme de pollution, de rouille et d’abandon. Un second « boom » résonne sur les rives de la Caspienne. Mais on sait qu’un seul puit rejette dans la mer au cours de son exploitation entre 30 à 120 tonnes de pétrole soit 10 % de sa production. La Caspienne y résistera-t-elle ?

Ilakaka, which was formerly a small peaceful village, has become,in a few months, something of a « far west » town. A population reaching almost 100 000 due to the discovery, in 1998, of one of the biggest deposits of sapphires in the world.
