This process has continued until today. In Northwestern Argentina the expansion of soy and sugar cane monocultures and mega mining projects cause pollution, deforestation, death and conflicts over millions of hectares of land. Here, indigenous peoples and peasant communities resist the progress of destruction, in the frontiers of life." 11 august 18:30 Budapest Pesthuislaan, behind the statue of the Budha WG-Terrein complex, Paviljoen 2 Near Overtoom, Amsterdam West Organized by: Noticias.nl, ASEED and Chaya Communication http://wwww.noticias.nl http://www.aseed.net http://www.chayar.com.ar/ |
