The following is from Sam Wohns of Harvard University.
In addition to being a prime beneficiary of the multiple acts of environment destruction on the Charles River, Harvard is apparently destroying the environment in Argentina.
*************
Harvard owns two industrial timber plantations in northern Argentina that are degrading the Iberá Wetlands and endangering thousands of farmers.
After several communities sent a letter to President Faust, the provincial government seized thousands of hectares of their land. Last week, community leaders protested the land grab in the provincial capital.
On Tuesday, join a rally outside Massachusetts Hall to demonstrate our solidarity with the community members in Argentina.
