Las inversiones de Harvard están destruyendo la tierra y los medios de sustento en Argentina

The statement alleges that Harvard University's ownership of 87,000 hectares of eucalyptus and pine plantations in Corrientes, Argentina, managed by EVASA and Las Misiones S.A., has led to groundwater depletion, habitat loss, and pollution from pesticides. It further claims that these investments involved land usurpation without prior consultation and the exploitation of workers under dangerous conditions with inadequate pay, despite Harvard's claims of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification.

• Harvard University owns 87,000 hectares of land in Corrientes, Argentina, featuring eucalyptus and pine plantations managed by Empresas Verdes Argentinas S.A. (EVASA) and Las Misiones S.A., which have negatively impacted the local ecosystem by depleting groundwater and destroying animal habitats.
• The forestry operations utilize pesticides that contaminate air and water, and the land was acquired without prior consultation, leading to the usurpation of lands traditionally managed by local communities.
• Plantation workers face precarious labor conditions, including long hours, inadequate salaries, and dangerous working environments.
