International campaign to define Forests by their true meaning!
In the framework of our campaign on the International Day of the Forests, and in colaboration with Friends of the Earth International, we have produced 3 short radio spots to help spreading the message that “plantations ar not forests”.
The United Nations (UN) has declared March 21st as the International Day of Forests. For us a good reason to send once again a letter (see below) urging the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN to review its present definition of forests, that mainly benefits the interests of the timber, pulp and paper and rubber industries.
International Day of Forests: Defining Forests by their true meaning!
Dear friends,
On behalf of La Via Campesina, Friends of the Earth International, Focus on the Global South and the World Rainforest Movement we are writing to ask for your support.
March 14 is the International Day of Action for Rivers and Against Dams. Every year, thousands of people around the world lift their voices to celebrate the world's rivers and those who struggle to protect them. The International Day of Action for Rivers is a day to celebrate victories such as dam removal and river restoration. It is a day to take to the streets, demonstrate and demand improvements in the policies and practices of decision makers.
Dear friends, your support in needed!
The Sengwer people – an indigenous hunter-gatherer community in the Cherangany hills in Kenya- is being forcibly evicted from its territory.
Many of us have been following closely the story, as recent as last January, but is something that has been taking place since the year 2007. These evictions are directly linked to the World Bank’s funding of the Kenyan government’s REDD+ ‘readiness’ , through the bank’s Natural Resource Management Project (NRMP).
