In this episode of The Spark, we interview Esteban Servat, founder of EcoLeaks, about the background, purpose of the organization and his role in the environmental movement. We also talk about the role of the Global North and how it controls and exploits natural resources in Latin America. Finally, we talk about the importance of grassroots movements as well as creating awareness for environmental justice movements.

Esteban Servat is the founder of EcoLeaks. He is an Argentine-American biologist living in Berlin. He spent nearly a decade working in the Silicon Valley, where he also got his master's of Biotechnology. Sick and tired of the world of Silicon Valley, he moved back to Argentina to start a project to create a self-sustainable, multicultural community in Mendoza province. Everything was going well until the government brought fracking to the province. Then he suddenly turned into an activist and created EcoLeaks.
