Problema rețelelor criminale din Amazon ajunge în fața ONU: Mineritul ilegal de aur, traficul de droguri și defrișările amenință comunitățile indigene și ecosistemele

Indigenous leaders from Peru, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador are addressing the UN about the rise of criminal networks in the Amazon, threatening communities and ecosystems. They demand stronger government action against environmental crimes and a greater role in protecting ancestral lands. Issues like illegal gold mining and drug trafficking are exacerbating violence and pollution in their territories. The upcoming UN conference in Vienna aims to discuss a new protocol for environmental crimes, with indigenous representatives advocating for enhanced land rights and local protection systems. They emphasize the need for serious action against environmental offenses, comparable to drug trafficking.
