On the occasion of the XIV World Forestry Congress, organized by the FAO in Durban, South Africa, between 7 and 11 September, we, members of the Latin American Network against Monoculture Tree Plantations (RECOMA), along with diverse grassroots organizations, are disseminating this letter of protest to express our outrage with the erroneous and exclusionary manner in which FAO is once again organizing this event.
La forêt, c’est la vie, un lieu où s’entrecroisent une multitude d’espèces animales et végétales, un foyer pour des millions d’êtres humains. Pourtant, l’ONU considère aussi comme des forêts les stériles plantations industrielles d’arbres, un non-sens qui ouvre grand la porte à la destruction de la nature. Écrivons à l’ONU !
