There is a new email alert run jointly by Ecological Internet:

http://forests.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=paraguay_soya

and Rettet den Regenwald e.V.

www.regenwald.org/international/englisch/index.php

Paraguay has nearly 2.6 million hectares of soy plantations for
animal feed exports and, more recently, for agrofuel. Soya
monocultures are the main cause of deforestation, destruction and
pollution of other ecosystems and linked to violence and the eviction
of small farmers and indigenous peoples.

Peasant organisations are organising resistance at the start of the
GM soya season across the country of Paraguay. They demand access to
land, land reform and a stop to the pesticide spraying which
negatively impacts on their communities. Despite promises from the
new government, many camps have been evicted and violence has taken
place: Two leaders have been murdered and hundreds of peasants have
been arrested.

Please take part in the email alert and write to the authorities in
Paraguay and urge them to fully support small farmers and their
demands for protection from pesticide spraying, from evictions,
environmental destruction and pollution, for food sovereignty and
land reform.
