The Mindanao Climate Justice Resource Facility advocates for community-driven climate and social justice in Mindanao, Philippines. Their main objective is to facilitate genuine transformation through a rights-based approach, focusing on the empowerment of marginalized communities and Indigenous Peoples, particularly the Lumad and Bangsamoro.
Their initiative focuses on empowering Indigenous and local communities to resist the adverse impacts of the Tampakan mining project in Mindanao, highlighting environmental degradation and cultural erosion while supporting the Lumads’ fight for their ancestral lands. In an era of misinformation and corporate control of the media, citizen journalism, backed by facts, empowers communities to become truth-tellers and advocates for their rights and their environment. The goal of the project is to raise awareness of the environmental and social impacts of the Tampakan mining project, amplify the voices and stories of the Lumad, and mobilize public, political, and international support for Indigenous rights and environmental protection.
