The human body is 71% water. For local activist Kristina Pongrac, the Drava River flows through her veins.
A tattoo of a 19th-century map of the Drava wraps around her arm right at the 71% mark. A daily reminder that clean water is the foundation of all life.
But a few hundred meters from the pristine riverbanks in Croatia, a mega farm is being built:
šØ 1.8 MILLION chickens per year
šØ Over 1 MILLION liters of toxic wastewater annually
Billionaire Ag executives are building polluting mega-farms close to rural villages, expecting communities to suffer in silence while they extract profit.
If they expected quiet compliance, they got quite the opposite!
From researching data and consulting lawyers to protesting and taking direct action, ordinary citizens are standing up. And in nearby Sisak, local resistance has already temporarily halted a colossal 100-million chicken mega-project!
People power works! But we need your voice to shut down industrial livestock expansion for good.
