One of the sugar ethanol companies in Guatemala is the agribusiness firm Ingenio Guadelupe. For the past three years, they have been deforesting and planting large areas of land for sugar cane ethanol in an area known as Finca Los Recuerdos. Indigenous farmers are strongly opposed to the invasion of their territory and the environmental destruction caused by Ingenio Guadelupe. On 30th June this year, sixty Keqchi families tried to recover some of the land and re-plant it. They were attacked by paramilitary security forces associated with the company. They were shot at from a helicopter and a 35 year old father of three children was hospitalised as a result.
