How can we defend the future of forests in Latin America?
Through a process in which true commitment to ethics and transparency prevails. I feel that here the Catholic Church should play a greater role, lifting up its voice even more. I think we should create a Latin American environmental union, which would begin with a Mesoamerican march that we are trying to organize for Mexico and Central America. They are just plans for now, but we are going to do it. The idea is that the Church and environmental, grassroots and human rights organizations from the region will participate. In the case of Honduras, I believe that all citizens, including politicians, journalists and the military, should join in protecting the environment, not from the perspective of repression, but rather through participation. * Thelma Meja is a Tierramrica contributor.
