Earth Matters 18.7.2008
Defending community and ecology in Ecuador Every year, Ecuador loses 2.3 percent of its forests - it has the highest deforestation rate in South America. This week, Earth Matters hears all about the unique ecology of the Intag region of Ecuador and the work to conserve the environment and defend the rights of the communities who live there. DECOIN (Organizacion para la Defensa y Conservacion Ecologica de Intag) is a regional organization founded in 1995. Its task has been to battle perhaps the greatest threat to the forests: the mining companies that have thousands of acres of government-granted concessions throughout the Intag. Carlos Zorrilla is the founder and executive director of DECOIN. He came to Australia in June, as a guest of the Globalism Research Centre at RMIT, Friends of the Earth and the Latin American Solidarity Network. During this time Carlos spoke at length with 3CR broadcaster Jan Bartlett about his country and the efforts his organisaiton is making to defend Ecuador’s rich biodiversity against corporate and government activity in the Intag. You can find out more about DECOIN's work at www.decoin.org. The website features extensive information in English.
