This issue of Earth First! Journal features various stories about the actions to defend Adnyamathanha territory in Australia, the protest against genetic engineering, and the fight against industrial agriculture in Brazil. In addition, Felix Tuodolo tells the story of how Nigerian military opened fire on youths after Shell’s oil spill.
"For the people of Freetown (Ekulama 2) of Kula, Nigeria, life may never be the same again. The people depend on subsistence fishing and farming for a living. The discovery of oil in the land brought changes to their lives, as the activities of Shell and Chevron greatly reduced the produce from the farms and rivers."
