Ecuador: Indigenous Marchers Complete 700km Trek To Protect Their Forests

This march, organised by both indigenous people and Ecuadorian social rights groups, was named ‘The March for Water, Life and Dignity’ because, first of all, mining threatens watersheds, notably in the south of the country, where most of the mining is set to take place. This march is also about life and dignity, because the indigenous populations run the risk of having to leave their lands.
