Stop Savannah Resources!Savannah Resources is an Australian company that intends to mine for lithium in a World Heritage Site for Agriculture.Hidden away in the north countryside of Portugal, Barroso is a unique region for its agrosilvopastoral system of sustainable agriculture practices, withholding a unique and rare way of living with one of the lowest footprints in Portugal.Sharing the land for cattle, graze and forests, this simple way of using land is one of the greatest solutions for climate change. Disguised with the promise of a green transition from fossil fuels, lithium exploration in Covas has gone against the population's wishes to preserve their waters, land and way of living. For this isn't a story on green transition, this is the story of neglecting the rural populations of Portugal once again.As well as the immigration of the last rural youth in an aging Europe, to live in big cities faced with inhumane rents and contributing to unsustainable ways of living, all while losing their heritage. In a country ridden with eucalyptus forests stands as one of the last diverse forests in the country.It’s a hidden treasure, which if we don’t do anything, you’ll never get to see. Help us save time and defend the local people of Covas do Barroso!Here are four ways you can help:* Fight for the investment of public and shared transport instead of the individual car industry.* Visit Covas do Barroso and the Barroso region to feel the threatened beauty firsthand.* Share this video with your friends and family, let's take this story worldwide.* Sign the open consultation against mining by disagreeing with it in our link in bio.Credits (footage, music and information):Barroso Sem MinasUnidos Em Defesa de Covas do BarrosoMinas NãoChaves ComunitáriaXR PortugalMontalegre Com VidaGRUPO PNB – Associação Povo e Natureza do BarrosoMovimento Pelas Águas e SerrasWWF PortugalGeneration Earth PortugalUniversidade do MilhoBrigada da Foice – Carlos LiboJornal Mapa Greve Climática EstudantilGuilhotina.infoPúblicoTag people and organizations that you think should watch this video!
