Audio reports from the World Social Forum 2011 in Dakar, Senegal, produced for broadcast on campus/community radio globally.

In this segment of Dispatches from Dakar we hear from Mamy Rakotondrainibe an activist from Collectif pour la Défense des terres malgaches working to raise awareness and struggle against mass corporate land grabs in Madagascar. In recent years land contracts have been signed between the government of Madagascar and major corporations, often in the name of economic development, that will lead to millions of hectares of Madagascar lands being lost to the people of the country.
