fwd | 16.09.2003 18:27 | Ecology | Globalisation
7.30pm Wednesday 24th September, New Dalry House, 15 Orwell Place, Edinburgh
This event is an excellent opportunity to meet two Ecuadorian activists who will be talking about the effects of oil exploitation there. Jose Luis Guevara, and Fidel Aguinda will be speaking about the struggle their communities have faced as a result of an attempt to double Ecuador's oil production in order to service the country's external debts. There will also be some wine and some Ecuadorian snacks (in return for a small donation).
