With the beginning of a new year, human beings as usual set new goals and objectives that will help us reach our final goal. Same thing happens with the Oak. The problems in San Marcos and our work go beyond helping the mining resistance. The struggle in San Marcos and the Western Highlands is for the recovery and management of the territory. Mining is not the only threat, and that´s the reason why now officially the Oak will no longer be an informative on mining issues in San Marcos, but will inform on the struggle for recovery and management of the territory.

In this new number, we talk about mining effects from the perspective of Allan Lissner´s lens, a photojournalist who visited San Marcos at the end of last year. Then there´s an article that presents Union Fenosa, to understand better all the problems related to electric energy. The next explains the things that happened in Malacatan at the end of last year and beginning of this one.

As usual we have the section “We invite you to read” where we present the most relevant news from traditional and alternative media. And for this year we added a new section: “Image of the resistance” from where we´ll be sharing with you the saying “an image says more than a thousand words”.
