  Last month ERI teamed up with our partners on the ground to conduct a series of mobile trainings on human rights and property laws, grassroots organizing, and media strategies for remote communities in the Peruvian Amazon. These traditional communities are constantly battling human rights and environmental abuses at the hands of Peruvian and multinational corporations seeking business opportunities in the resource-rich Amazon.

Workshop on sharing yadana experience with SGM 2005-02web.jpg
Through gathering testimonies, training grassroots organizations, and distributing information through campaign work, the Burma Project has made a significant contribution to human rights and environment protection in Burma. Where possible, the Burma Project links its grassroots fact-finding missions and community organizing with regional and international level advocacy and campaigning. Working alongside affected community groups, they aim to prevent future human rights and environmental abuses associated with large-scale development projects in Burma. 
 
The Salween River

Southeast Asia’s longest free flowing river, the Salween River, runs along the Thai-Burma border and is home to several plant and animal species as well as over thirteen ethnic minority groups living in traditional communities along its banks. Currently there are plans underway for large-scale hydropower development at various locations along the river in Burma; developments which ERI fears would lead to environmental degradation and human rights abuses. As part of ERI's efforts to raise awareness for these issues and its commitment to training local human rights and environmental activists, the EarthRights Mekong School recently took a group of students on an educational fieldtrip to the Salween River.
