Mariana and José are urban ethnographers and agroecology consultants, co-founders of Clak Clak, Research and Design.
Since 2023, they have collaborated as research-for-advocacy consultants on the impacts of oil palm expansion in Guatemala’s northern lowlands.
At our forum, they’ll be sharing their research from Guatemala’s northern lowlands, where the rapid expansion of oil palm plantations is reshaping entire territories.

Mariana and José are documenting to support the resistance.
