Silva Lieberherr - HECKS




A different story about CO2 certificates

The publication of the research and the IPO in London were imminent. And then the ominous letters from the Sierra Leonean chiefs came into play: "Suddenly, British journalist Olivia Acland called and asked me if we had paid people money or given them gifts for answers. I was shocked," says land rights expert Silva Lieberherr.

She works for the Swiss HEKS - Aid Agency of the Protestant Church in Switzerland and supports people in Sierra Leone in their fight against land robbery. Unexpectedly, she finds herself caught up in an international whirlwind. And she experiences how hard the fight is, because there is a lot of money at stake.
