THE SPEAKERS’ BIO:

Milton Sánchez Cubas

Native to the province of Celendín, department of Cajamarca, Peru. Milton is the 31-year-old president of the Plataforma Interinstitucional Celendina (PIC) (Inter-institutional Platform of Celendin) - a body that brings together 40 social organizations from Celendín. He is also the ´Comando Unitario de Lucha´ (Spokesman for the Command Control Unit of the campaign), which is the body that brings together the defense fronts of the Cajamarca Region. This body leads the defense of our natural resources endangered by the extractive industry in our region.

Milton is an accountant by profession, specializing in governance, local development and citizen participation. He has also been involved in youth organizations at a national and regional level (such as his role as Secretary General of the Regional Youth Council in the Cajamarca region). He is dealing with approximately 40 lawsuits against him from the mining company and the government, and is one of the more than three hundred victims of judicial persecution for defending our natural resources.
