Belém, Brazil – As global leaders prepare to gather for COP30, communities from across the world are calling out the human rights crisis driven by mining. Yes to Life, No to Mining (YLNM) members from the Philippines, Ecuador, and Brazil are standing together to expose the violence, criminalisation, and impunity faced by those who defend their lands, waters, and ways of life.
Belém, Brazil – As governments and corporations rush to brand mining as part of the “green transition”, communities from across the globe are calling it what it is: extractivism, the same colonial system of exploitation repackaged in the language of climate action.
Belém, Brazil – As global movements converge in the Amazon for the 6th Rights of Nature Tribunal, Yes to Life, No to Mining (YLNM), a global solidarity network, is bringing together frontline defenders from across continents to assert a shared truth: the Earth is not property to be owned, but life to be respected.
