Podcast 10a - Latin America: Extractivism 101

Beyond Mining Series

Mining is a form of Extractivism which exploits natural resources on a massive scale. It is a short-sighted model of development pushed by states, institutions and corporations around the globe. With the massive appropriation of extracted natural resources comes violence that tramples Indigenous and human rights, and natures right to life,
