JULIO HECTOR SANCHEZ
"Threats to the Families of Central America"

Julio Sanchez has been working nearly 15 years for the Humboldt Center in
Nicaragua, an organization dedicated to harmonious territorial development
and environmental management. Through his experiences he has developed
specializations in genetically modified organisms, toxic substances, food
security, native genetic resources, biological diversity and socially
responsible industries.

Sanchez served as official civil society delegate for several multilateral
environmental agreements, including a report on the social-environmental
costs of pesticide use. He's conducted workshops through the organization
Campesino Families and supported claimants vs transnational corporations. He
has participated in the creation/approval/reform of over 15 environmental
laws, regulations and obligatory norms. During the drafting of DR-CAFTA,
Sanchez again represented civil society in the negotiations. He continues to
promote the preservation and rescue of biodiversity and ancestral knowledge
throughout his region.
