Milton Sánchez Cubas
Native to the province of Celendín, department of Cajamarca, Peru.

He is also the ´Comando Unitario de Lucha´ (Spokesman for the Command Control Unit of the campaign), which is the body that brings together the defense fronts of the Cajamarca Region. This body leads the defense of our natural resources endangered by the extractive industry in our region.

Milton is an accountant by profession, specializing in governance, local development and citizen participation. He has also been involved in youth organizations at a national and regional level (such as his role as Secretary General of the Regional Youth Council in the Cajamarca region). He is dealing with approximately 40 lawsuits against him from the mining company and the government, and is one of the more than three hundred victims of judicial persecution for defending our natural resources.

Member of the Environmental Committee for the Defense of Life which monitors the socio-environmental impact of the La Colosa mine, in the department of Tolima, Colombia. Aida is a militant researcher on the issue of resistance to 3 mining mega-projects in Colombia:

Transnational Anglo gold Ashanti has been carrying out illegal explorations with a view to have one of the biggest open cast mines in South America. The mine is in a natural reserve. In previous projects in this mine, a family - including a baby - was murdered by state agents.
