Country profiles

EDeN compiles profiles of countries with serious human rights concerns that have an environmental element to them. They are compiled primarily from Amnesty International sources and include links to the source materials. Priority is given to those countries where EDeN has already acted on cases.

The issues covered include:

murder, attacks and threats against environmental activists
poverty stemming from pollution and destruction of habitat
contamination of water sources
evictions from traditional lands to make way for mining
urban evictions of the poor and marginalised
dereliction of corporate responsibility to communities and their environments
