DPLF is part of the Coalition against Illegal Mining in the Amazon (CMIA)<\/strong>, a regional alliance of civil society organizations that work collaboratively to document and address the impacts of illegal mining in the Amazon. Through this partnership, we strengthen our commitment to collaborative work and to advancing regional responses to complex challenges that link the climate crisis, organized crime, corruption, and human rights.<\/p>

Our participation in this coalition reflects one of our core pillars of work: promoting strategic partnerships and strengthening network-based efforts to advance regional responses to issues that affect democracy, the rule of law, and environmental protection in Latin America.<\/p>

The CMIA brings together local, national, and regional organizations that, in partnership with Indigenous peoples and affected communities, promote monitoring, documentation, and advocacy efforts to raise awareness of the socio-environmental impacts of illegal mining and to strengthen coordinated responses across different levels. More information about this initiative is available in the Coalition\u2019s 2025 Action Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Within the framework of this alliance, the CMIA published the report Climate Change, Illegal Mining, and Human Rights in the Amazon<\/a>: Reflections from Civil Society Organizations and Indigenous Peoples<\/strong><\/em>, which analyzes the links between the climate crisis, environmental degradation, and human rights violations in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. The document highlights the role of corruption networks and organized crime in the expansion of illegal mining and proposes concrete pathways for more effective international action.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Previously, in October 2024, DPLF and the organizations that make up the CMIA published the report Illegal Gold Mining<\/a>: Impacts on Human Rights and Biodiversity in the Amazon<\/strong><\/em>. This report underscores the urgency of developing more effective environmental oversight mechanisms, strengthening corporate due diligence processes, enhancing regional cooperation, holding those responsible for socio-environmental harm accountable, and protecting the rights of Indigenous peoples.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
