“The UN summit in 1992 laid the foundation for sustainable development, but we have only seen great works, mining and oil, twenty years later, at the summit this year, we must ensure they do not repeat the same thing,” said Edwin Vasquez, head of the Coordination of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA).
