Antonio de Souza
Antonio de Souza is a farmer from Serra do Mel, Brazil, who has become a prominent figure in the fight against the adverse effects of wind energy projects on local communities. After signing a contract with the renewable energy company Voltalia, he and other farmers found their livelihoods compromised as land previously used for agriculture became unusable due to the installation of wind turbines. De Souza is now leading a public civil lawsuit seeking compensation and a review of the contracts that he and his neighbors signed, advocating for the rights of local farmers.
