An unlikely eco-alliance in post-war El Salvador

A new book describes how environmental activists in El Salvador brought conservatives and progressives together to institute a nationwide ban on metal mining in 2017. The World’s Marco Werman speaks with attorney Luis Parada, who led El Salvador’s defense team in a mining lawsuit at the World Bank, and Robin Broad, a co-author of the book, “The Water Defenders: How Ordinary People Saved A Country from Corporate Greed.”
