Community Environmental Monitoring and Surveillance
Community Environmental Monitoring and Surveillance experiences have been carried out locally by citizen organizations, aimed at invigilating, monitoring, following up and reporting entrepreneurs that have an environmental impact in mainly rural and / or indigenous communities. They can be organized in various ways, taking the form of committees, commissions, councils, organizations, programs, associations, etc. They have especially worked on the monitoring and reporting of irregularities in hydrocarbon, hydroelectric and mining operations.
