“Sacrificing one for the many is not environmental justice”, says Frankie Orona. Why is no one from the @BusinessCoalition attending this event by Indigenous Peoples? You need to listen. #INC2 #PlasticsTreaty

🐬el uso de 'cortinas de la muerte' por parte de flota marroquí en aguas españolas para pescar pez espada; y
