International Day of Struggle Against Monoculture Tree Plantations

Image

21 September, the International Day of Struggle Against Monoculture Tree Plantations, is a day for organizations, networks and movements to celebrate the resistance against industrial tree plantations.

These monocultures invade territories and affect the life of peoples and communities. The Day was launched in 2004 at a meeting of a community network struggling against industrial tree plantations in Brazil; September 21 was chosen because it is the Day of the Tree in Brazil.

STOP plantations! NO to monocultures!
