This series of public talks center on the socio-ecological impacts of the mega-mine “Mirador” in the southern Ecuadorian Amazon. These talks feature members from the Indigenous organization CASCOMI and of the environmental collective Comunálisis, who will share (via zoom) their insights and expertise on the entrenched politics and conflicts related to the rise of extractive projects and the global demand for “critical minerals” in Ecuador and Latin America.
This event will be held on the Whitman College campus in Maxey 306.
