The 2009 edition of the World Social Forum kicked off on Tuesday with a massive march in Belem, Brazil. But the actual events of the forum began yesterday with different seminars and workshops.

Amigos de la Tierra Internacional es una de las organizaciones presentes en el foro. La federación organizó un seminario sobre Plantaciones, REDD y Privatización en la Universidad Federal de Pará (UFPA).

Una de las principales oradoras fue Ronnie Hall, investigadora de Amigos de la Tierra Internacional y la Coalición Mundial de Bosques.

Hall habló sobre los impactos negativos que tiene REDD (Reducción de Emisiones por Deforestación y Degradación) en los bosques y especialmente en las comunidades indígenas.
