Strategic Plan 2024 & 2025
As we face growing pressures from oil, monoculture, mining, and other extractive industries, the climate crisis is intensifying, especially in indigenous and local community territories. Every day, indigenous and community leaders put their lives at risk to protect their lands and to denounce land grabbing and human rights violations.
