New report by the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) demonstrates that people who protect the environment and human rights are increasingly being monitored, threatened, harassed and murdered. The study, based on testimonies given by 25 environmental organisations around the world with whom SSNC collaborate, finds that mining, agricultural and forestry sectors account for the majority of confrontations arising between companies and local communities living in exploited areas and concludes that consumption in Sweden and other wealthy countries contributes to this situation by means of a rising demand for products and raw materials from these countries. We asked Ikwezi Mining to respond - it didn't.
