Campaña Tierras Mal Habidas
Millones de hectáreas de las mejores tierras fiscales del Paraguay fueron apropiadas ilegalmente por personas particulares, sociedades e instituciones. Un informe de la Comisión de Verdad y Justicia que investigó las violaciones de Derechos Humanos cometidas durante la dictadura de Alfredo Stroessner, sumó casi 8 millones de hectáreas robadas entre 1954 y 2003.

The Gecko Project is an investigative journalism initiative established to shine a light on the corruption driving land grabs and the destruction of tropical rainforests. It seeks to create and maintain a sense of urgency over the role of large land deals, predominantly for food production, in some of the most pressing global challenges: climate change, the collapse of biodiversity, food security, and the rights of indigenous peoples and other rural communities. We aim to achieve this through the production and promotion of in-depth, high-quality and accessible journalism.
