CATAPA vzw

Ghent, Belgien

Beskrivelse

CATAPA is a movement which strives for a world in which the extraction of non-renewable resources is no longer necessary. The extraction of such materials always entails major social and environmental impacts and fuels conflict. In working towards global social and environmental justice, we focus on mining issues (ecological disasters, human rights violations, etc.). In Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia we work together with grassroots movements and support local communities who are threatened by large-scale mining projects. In Belgium, we activate citizens to denounce the current overconsumption and overproduction of electronics. Our main activities are: Campaigning on the impact of mining and sustainable production of electronics in Flanders. Supporting partners and local communities in Latin America that are threatened by large-scale mining projects. Creating a movement around sustainable production and consumption of metals. Networking, research & stimulating alternatives.
