Protecting Historic Lands: The Role of Civil Society Organizations in Resisting Destructive Mining on Homonhon Island, Philippines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Homonhon Island, renowned for its rich biodiversity and historical significance, is facing escalating environmental degradation from large-scale nickel and chromite mining operations that began in the 1980s and have since expanded. This talk will examine the socio-environmental impacts of mining activities, including ecosystem destruction, community displacement, and heightened climate vulnerabilities, while highlighting the vital role of civil society and faith-based organizations in resisting destructive extraction practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ivan Corado<\/strong>\u00a0is a Disaster Risk Reduction practitioner, child-rights advocate, and member of the Ecology Ministry in the Diocese of Borongan, Eastern Samar, Philippines. He brings extensive experience in community development, environmental advocacy, and capacity-building for children and women in areas prone to disasters. Ivan is currently pursuing an M.A. in international development at Clark University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
