@fionaw said: Something this discussion makes me think about is who are the activists that are fighting for each cause. General environmental protests are really popular. The activists in Latin America that we read about seem to way more frequ…

These stories were not completely new to me. Within the world of activism I became pretty used to hear how many leaders were killed. From dictatorships until today, activist (and my grandparents within them)were targets of the most horrible threats,…

@caroline22 said: I think the green economy efforts are a step in the right direction. This is because of the general integration between economic and environmental benefit, which I believe is a necessary combination to get big organizations/c…

I find this topic so complex and hard to be 100% sure of an answer to your questions. Part of me agrees with the earlier comments on how it is a step into the right direction, but I also find it that it is a way to create inaction, from companies an…

@cara said: @caroline22 said: For one of my readings, I read about deforestation in Ecuador. Bates dispels a couple myths about deforestation in Ecuador, one of which I found particularly interesting. Bates discusses that the peopl…

@charlotte said: I read Piper's article about the "water market" in Chile. Essentially during the Pinochet regime, all water rights became privatized, allowing for water to essentially be treated like property. The Italian company bought a hug…

The chapter "Argentina: government-agribusiness elite dynamics and its consequences for environmental governance by Benedicted Bull and Mariel Aguilar-Stoen was a really deep insight on GM soy in Argentina and the historical and political background…

@caroline22 said: In response to Josh's question about the best practices for engagement, I have a couple thoughts. I believe that as long as any indigenous people are forced to be financially dependent of extractivism, there is no correct dec…

@caroline22 said: @charlotte said: This makes me think of other instances of U.S. involvement. In Guatemala, the U.S. hired Edward Bernays to consult on how to make citizens believe that the Guatemalan government was communist. In …

@fionaw said: @a_hipp said: This is an excellent point about equity and the power dynamics of the extraction industry. The film When Two Worlds Collide also made me think again about intersectionality. When the Amazonian men we…

I found the intro and first chapter of Inside the Champion simply amazing, the writer does a really good job of explaining how a lot of the Latin American mindset works (such as with the “and now it’s our turn” feelin) regarding issues of environmen…

@caroline22 said: I was actually really surprised at a lot of the organizations I looked into out there. The main one I'm focusing on is Amazon Frontlines which is a newer group. They take a very holistic approach to supporting the local indig…

@a_hipp said: @SpencerFier said: @a_hipp, I completely agree with your first paragraph, but find your second overly optimistic. As much as I'd love to see these massive NGOs reformed through public outcry and exposure of their wron…

I think this is more of a personal question or disagreement I guess. I do not really understand that thing that we can only post two times in a row but not 3 times. I understand we want fluid conversations but we can not expect everyone to connect a…
