Second Gathering of the Mexican Movement of Those Affected by Dams and in Defence of Rivers (MAPDER)

The Mexican Movement of Those Affected by Dams and in Defence of Rivers
(MAPDER) was born as part of the accords and strategies emanating from the II
Gathering of the Meso-American Movement Against Dams which was carried out in La
Esperanza, Honduras in 2003. In Honduras, the Meso-American movement made
promises to shape national networks to strengthen the fight against the dams that are
invading the territory of Plan Puebla-Panama. Hence, the Mexican delegation proposed
the launch of the first MAPDER conference in 2004 which was held in Guerrero where
communities are battling against the construction of the La Parota dam. Please find more information and the declaration on the Second Mapder meeting.
