Sean Keary

Sean Keary is a Catholic leader based in Brisbane, Australia, who has been vocal in his opposition to the recent repeal of the ban on metallic mining in El Salvador. He emphasizes the critical importance of access to clean drinking water as a fundamental human right and warns of the severe environmental implications of reinitiating mining operations, particularly for the vulnerable water supply of the Lempa River. Keary's advocacy highlights the intersection of environmental justice and human rights, as he calls for protection of natural resources and the rights of those defending them in the face of governmental and corporate pressures.
