The Study Center for Social Justice 'Tierra Digna' is an organization dedicated to the defense of the territory, life and culture of communities affected by the implementation of extractive economic development measures, promoted by the national government and private capital companies , mainly. We believe that it is possible for communities to live according to their own vision, to defend together with them the right to build alternatives to this development and to walk together paths of social justice and a dignified life.

'Tierra Digna' concentrates its efforts, fundamentally, in the realization of an integral accompaniment to the communities, mostly rural, through legal, investigative work and the strengthening and exchange of knowledge, which ensures the protection and full realization of Your rights.

'Tierra Digna' is made up of professionals from different areas of knowledge and also has a group of collaborators and volunteers who contribute to carrying out its activities.

Currently, the thematic areas of work around which 'Tierra Digna' articulates its research, litigation, advocacy and community strengthening efforts, are the following:

Energy production (Dams) Right to Water (Defense of Community Aqueducts) Impacts of Mining exploitation (Gold and Coal) Defense of Artisanal Fishing and impacts of industrial exploitation Protection and conservation of Forests Biodiversity
