Latin America • Women's rights & Environmental Justice • Strengthening civil society • Soy
I started working at Both ENDS in 1991 and since the first day I have been intrigued by the strength, the knowledge and the resilience of local grassroots groups. They either fight to secure their rights to a clean and healthy environment and/or promote and implement concrete ways to manage or restore natural resources. Through my work at Both ENDS I am able to contribute to and support the work of local groups additional to what they are doing themselves. E.g. by joint fundraising, alliance building and by influencing the actors that are (in)directly causing land conversion, pollution and human rights violations. I have been managing several global programs, but my main area of expertise is Latin America. Furthermore I am involved in institutional strengthening of Both ENDS and in the coaching of junior staff members.

Not soy, but music in the Brazilian Pantanal!
The Pantanal, in the heart of South America, at the border of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay, is the world’s largest freshwater wetland with an extremely rich biodiversity. Tourism and fishing are the main sources of income for the local population. This enormous natural area is invaluable for the water management of a large part of the continent, stretching all the way down to the Argentinian La Plata area, some 1,500 kilometres away. The area faces many threats and Both ENDS therefore already started actively supporting local organisations striving to protect the Pantanal in 1994.

The Pantanal, the world’s largest waterland, is under serious threat
For several decades, Both ENDS has been closely following the developments in this large water area in the centre of South America. We work closely with organisations which aim to ensure that the local population knows about these developments and, if necessary, protect it from these changes. But why is this area both so special and important for the whole of South America? And what exactly is threatening this area? C. Cornell Evers, independent photographer and writer, spoke with Tamara Mohr of Both ENDS and Sander van Andel of IUCN to find answers. The result of this meeting is an interesting interview.
