Por qué decimos No a la minería | Sí a la vida No a la minería

La minería avanza bajo falsas promesas de “desarrollo” y “soluciones verdes”, destruyendo el agua.

Las comunidades tienen derecho a entender estos impactos —y a decir no. YLNM se solidariza con quienes resisten y construyen alternativas post-extractivas.

Why we say No to Mining | Yes to Life No to Mining

Mining expands under false promises of “development” and “green solutions,” destroying water, land, cultures and livelihoods.Communities have the right to know impacts — and to say no.YLNM stands with those resisting extraction and building just alternatives.

The delusion of mining for the climate | Yes to Life No to Mining

Otra COP termina y expone el costo de la “transición verde”: la minería de “minerales críticos” destruye ecosistemas, contamina el agua y afecta a comunidades. La justicia climática exige frenar la minería y defender los derechos indígenas.

Friends of the Earth joined environmental defenders from the Sperrins, Peru and London at the Mines and Money Conference in London. Together, we reject the extractive industry being pushed on these communities by global mining corporations, and say 'Yes to Life, No to Mining!'.

The delusion of mining for the climate | Yes to Life No to Mining

Another COP ends, exposing the true cost of the “green transition”: mining for “critical minerals” destroys ecosystems, poisons water, and harms communities.

Climate justice means stopping destructive mining and defending Indigenous rights.

Hoy Ecuador vota.

El 'sí' significa bases militares, la política solo para multimillonarios y un ataque a los derechos de las comunidades y la naturaleza, que tanto ha costado ganar.

El 'no' significa no a la regresión. El 'no' significa vida.

Nos solidarizamos con nuestros miembros en Ecuador.✊

Today Ecuador votes.

"Yes" means military bases, billionaires-only politics, and an attack on the hard-won rights of communities and Nature.

"No" means no to regression. "No" means Life.

We stand in solidarity with our members in Ecuador who have fought so hard and for so long. La lucha continua✊

Defender la vida, defender la tierra: Las comunidades denuncian los abusos de los derechos humanos cometidos por la minería en vísperas de la COP30. Logo de Sí a la Vida, No a la Minería (YLNM).

"Mientras tifones mortales inundan comunidades en Filipinas, vemos cómo la minería en nuestras montañas ha empeorado cada desastre. Cuando se talan los bosques y se destruye el suelo, las inundaciones arrasan vidas y medios de subsistencia, dejando a los más pobres como los más perjudicados. De Filipinas al mundo, la minería ha traído dolor y desposesión. Cuando defendemos nuestras tierras y aguas, estamos defendiendo la vida misma, pero los defensores son silenciados mientras las empresas salen libres. En la COP30, pedimos que se rindan cuentas y que se tenga el valor de elegir la vida por encima del beneficio, la justicia por encima de la impunidad y la solidaridad por encima del silencio".
-Ana Celestial, Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment Philippines y miembro do YLNM. 

“O crime em Brumadinho mostrou ao mundo que as empresas de mineração operam com violência e impunidade, enquanto as comunidades pagam com suas vidas. Do Brasil às Filipinas e ao Equador, estamos unidos para dizer: basta. Defender os defensores é defender nosso direito de viver com dignidade e continuar acreditando no futuro.”
-Carolina de Moura, Red Latinoamericana de Mujeres Defensoras de Derechos Sociales y Ambientales, Brumadinho, Brasil y miembro de YLNM.

“Nos últimos meses, o presidente equatoriano Daniel Noboa iniciou uma repressão generalizada à nossa sociedade civil, perseguindo politicamente dezenas de defensores dos direitos indígenas e da natureza que tiveram sucesso na proteção de áreas contra a mineração e ajudaram suas comunidades agrícolas rurais a se tornarem mais autossuficientes e sustentáveis. Seu governo está usando força militar — às vezes letal — contra manifestantes pacíficos, enfraquecendo o setor público, congelando contas bancárias e tratando os defensores como terroristas e os juízes do Tribunal Constitucional como inimigos do povo.”

 Las empresas mineras y los gobiernos cómplices violan los derechos humanos más básicos: el derecho a la vida, al agua y a la autodeterminación. Las comunidade que defienden estos derechos son tachadas de criminales, mientras que las empresas que destruyen rios, bosques y medios de vida están protegidas por la ley. Defender a los defensores significa defender la democracia, la justicia y la Tierra viva. Decimos sí a la vida y no al sistema que mata a quienes la protegen.

“As deadly typhoons flood communities in the Philippines, we see how mining in our mountains has worsened every disaster. When forests are stripped and soil destroyed, floods sweep away lives and livelihoods, leaving the poorest to suffer most. From the Philippines to the world, mining has brought grief and dispossession. When we defend our lands and waters, we are defending life itself—but defenders are silenced while corporations walk free. At COP30, we call for accountability and the courage to choose life over profit, justice over impunity, and solidarity over silence.”

-Carolina de Moura, Red Latinoamericana de Mujeres Defensoras de Derechos Sociales y Ambientales, Brumadinho, Brazil and YLNM member. 

“In the last few months, Ecuadorian President, Daniel Noboa has begun the wholesale decapitation of our civil society by politically persecuting dozens of Indigenous and Nature Rights defenders who’ve had success in protecting areas from mining and helping their rural farming communities to become more self-reliant and sustainable. His government is using military force—at times lethally—against peaceful protestors, weakening the public sector, freezing bank accounts, and treating defenders as terrorists and Constitutional Court judges as enemies of the people.“

 Mining companies and complicit governments are violating the most basic of human rights- the right to life, to water, to self-determination. Communities who defend these rights are branded as criminals while corporations that destroy rivers, forests, and livelihoods are protected by law. Defending the defenders means defending democracy, justice, and the living Earth. We say yes to life and no to the system that kills those who protect it.
