Tañon Saga: A Guidebook for Environmental Activism and Empowerment

2013-05-16

Globalization and opening up of the market economy that has allowed national and transnational companies to expropriate a country’s natural and economic resources, is causing misery and despair to people the world over. In the name of development, lands belonging to small food producers are being acquired through legal and illegal means; governments are selling off water resources to private companies which are building dams over them or simply cornering the water and resources within; reckless mining is stripping land and hillsides – and all this for private corporate profits.

PAN AP Monograph on Glyphosate: Addendum 2012*

2012-11-30

Huge production capacity for glyphosate in China has resulted in the world being oversupplied. Total global production capacity is more than twice global demand, putting pressure on industry to decrease prices and disperse GM Roundup Ready crops. There are still no national regulations limiting glyphosate, but there are some local court rulings restricting its use because of reported health impacts such as birth defects, cancer and miscarriages. Scientists, doctors, activists and others continue to push for restrictions and bans.

Almost 75 % of their village have already been lost to timber concessionaires which started operating in the late 80s.
