from bazril on Aug 13, 2020 11:16 AMDear Jai and All, Herewith share the good news of the cancelation of the imminent zonification plan to urbanize and industrialize the Valley of Lurin, South of Lima. This valley and its wetlands are a few of the green areas left from insane urbanization of the Peruvian valleys and natural reserves. This kind of insanity unveils the pandemics of corruption and shortsightedness in the past 500 years, nowadays dramatized by the Amazon in flames. This victory was won by a coalition of grassroots organizations and persons around the charismatic leadership of Leyla Berrocal, an environmental and climate activist. We need these stories of success in the long struggle ahead. Those who fought hard and effectively to gain this battle are aware that the corrupt forces behind this attempted ecocide won't give up easily their greed. Bravo, Leyla and the good people of Valle of Lurin. Your struggle is our struggle! Abrazos fraternales. Azril > >
