UNES,
a network of more than thirty organizations, works to protect and
conserve the fragile environment of El Salvador while accompanying
women and men in their struggle to live more sustainably. By
integrating the activities of our members, UNES extends the impact
of initiatives throughout the country and region.
The country of El Salvador has been controlled for most of its
history by a small, ruling elite and conflict has arisen time and
again over distribution of power and wealth.
UNES
works not only protect the environment but to empower poor
communities to resist measures that otherwise would dismantle their
way of life.
UNES
stands on the side of the disempowered in the face of criticism and
repression.
Now, more than ever, solidarity support is needed to protect those
who are protecting the environment in El Salvador.
It will take both individual and government commitment to change the
course of environmental destruction in El Salvador. The projects of
UNES
not only support people and their communities in establishing
environmentally sound practices, but also address policies issues at
the national level.
