The crisis has reinforced a battle [that] is taking place for natural resources everywhere. As Victoria Tauli-Corpus (an indigenous Filipino and UNPFII chair) says: There are more and more arrests, killings and abuses. This is happening in Russia, Canada, the Philippines, Cambodia, Mongolia, Nigeria, the Amazon, all over Latin America, Papua New Guinea and Africa. It is global.
