Election campaign and environmental issues: interview with Manuel Glave
“Fighting deforestation not only involves combating illegal mining and drug trafficking, but also tackling rural poverty and establishing rules to promote businesses in the Amazon that do not affect primary forests. Then we need a political agreement to ensure that protected areas and indigenous areas are properly respected. Nor can we undermine the capacity of agencies such as OEFA, Sernanp, Senace, and Minam itself.”
With regard to the upcoming election campaign, Manuel Glave, senior researcher at GRADE, spoke with Rumi Cevallos of Altavoz via Vital FM about the key points that candidates should consider on environmental issues.
