Association for the Defence of Common Property in Quimistán (ASODEBICOQ)
ASODEBICOQ works to defend the rights to land, territory and the environment in the face of extractive projects in the department of Santa Bárbara. The organisation was founded in 2017, after 27 communities in the municipality of Quimistán mobilised in 2013, to begin fighting for their rights in the face of the construction of a hydroelectric dam in the region.
PBI Honduras has been accompanying ASODEBICOQ since May 2018.
