Encouraging state engagement with #EscazúAgreement means we must seriously consider introducing comparable treaties in other #ResourceRich regions with #ColonialHistory of #unequal exchange, mass #environmental degradation & violent #repression against those advocating for #HumanRights & #ProtectionOfNature.
