A Quebec-Ontario delegation is now in Colombia, in the region of Lower
Atrato, department of Choco, in order to witness the illegal and
illegitimate character of African palm plantations in areas recognized by
Bill 70 of the Colombian legislation as Afro-Colombian ancestral
territories. The Canadian delegation has joined an international
delegation including NGOs from Germany, Spain and the United States, to
proceed to a pacific occupation of the illegal plantations.
