This podcast takes a closer look at social movements in defence of land and local communities. Land conflicts often occur when corporations ally with politicians and governments who allow for raw material extraction, which can be highly destructive for land areas and their ecosystems. Conflicts around raw material extraction also threaten local communities, their way of living, and divide communities where they would be strongest if they stood united. While the most known cases of these conflicts involve indigenous communities and their struggles to defend land and life land conflicts also exist in the heart of Europe. The podcast explores land conflicts and resistance groups outside of an indigenous context. We talked to Christopher Laumanns from the organization Alle Dörfer Bleiben (All Villages Stay), a group in Germany that opposes coal extraction and the associated destruction of villages at the opencast mines. Villages and communities are threatened to be destroyed by energy and mining companies who want to extract coal resources under these villages.
