The trench is part of a range of tactics also including security cabins, fences and armed security guards used to prevent free passage by local people over community lands in the Estrondo, isolating them from each other and impeding their grazing rights. The area is in judicial dispute but the Cachoeira community’s ownership of the land is currently guaranteed by the courts. However, despite court rulings supporting their land rights, communities all over the Cerrado, a frontier for soya expansion, have faced violence and intimidation as agribusiness expanded across the region.In original language:Cerrado Brasileiro e Produção de SojaMoradora observa trincheiras com três metros de profundidade construídas pelo Agronegócio Condomínio Estrondo para impedir o acesso de moradores da comunidade Cachoeira, localizada no oeste da Bahia. A área está em disputa judicial, e sua posse é atualmente garantida pela justiça à comunidade. Porém, o Agronegócio Estrondo contratou uma companhia de segurança chamada Estrela Guia, que usa guaritas de segurança, cercas, trincheiras e guardas armados para impedir acesso de moradores da comunidade.Locations:Bahia-Brazil-Cerrado-South AmericaDate:24 May, 2019Credit:© Marizilda Cruppe / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3543px X 2362pxKeywords:Day-Deforestation-Forests (campaign title)-KWCI (GPI)-One person-Outdoors-Soya beansShoot:Soya Production in the Brazilian Cerrado RegionDocumentation of the impact of rapidly expanding soya production on forests, people and wildlife in the Brazilian Cerrado, the world’s most wildlife-rich Savannah.
