The governments of Colombia and Peru are aware of the importance of the extractive sector for the reactivation of their economies after the crisis caused by the pandemic. Organized civil society sees this situation as a great challenge and proposes alternatives to ensure that the reactivation is fair and respectful of the environment and citizens.
