Please join us as we gather at 08.00am at Durban’s Amphitheater on the Beachfront Promenade on Thursday 14th November 2019 marching towards Olive Convention Centre to Protect those that protect the Earth (Environmental Defenders).
What do Golfrid Siregar, an Indonesian environmental lawyer, Ken Saro-Wiwa, a Nigerian writer, justice activist, Berta Isabel Cáceres, an indigenous leader from Honduras, and “Bazooka" Radebe, an anti-mining activist from South Africa, have in common? They have all been murdered and those responsible still walk around boldly.
As African Ministers of the Environment prepare to meet for the 17th
African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN), starting
today, it is more pressing than ever for them to openly denounce the
assassination and intimidation of environmental rights defenders on our
continent. The ministers must actively seek to develop legal and
practical protection mechanisms for those defending their communities.
Please join us in solidarity.
