Environmental and climate impact of mining extractivism in Abyayala

📅 August 31, 2026
📍 Virtual
12 PM Mexico / 13 PM Colombia, Panama, Ecuador / 14 PM Chile / 15 PM Argentina

Based on an analysis of the Diaguita, Chango, Ngäbe-Buglé, and Saraguro peoples, this space seeks to highlight counter-narratives to the territorial and socio-environmental catastrophes caused by extractivism and endorsed by successive governments. By giving voice to the territories and their custodians, this virtual gathering transcends the analysis of the current situation to become a tool for building networks, collectively strengthening and supporting the resistance of Indigenous peoples in Abya Yala.
