Description/notes
Acción Eccológica has been working with indigenous and peasant organizations since 1986 in defence of their collective rights and in support of local organizations that face socio-environmental conflicts. These organizations, anchored in the land and territories, demanded respect for their rights and more democratic policies. This is how proposals such as food and energy sovereignty were born, and thinking of a post-oil Ecuador. Acción Ecológica also addresses issues such as resistance to mining hand in hand with ecofeminism.
