My name is Lena Zúñiga and I'm the new coordinator for the Crocodyl.org project. As part of the many changes and improvements we're planning for the Crocodyl.org wiki, I will continue to update this news page.

The first piece of news we have on the site is the beginning of an exciting collaboration with three Southern based researchers in India. Nityanand, Dharmesh and T. Venkat will start building profiles for corporations based in South Asia.

Nityanand Jayaraman is a Chennai, India-based independent journalist, researcher and activist. He investigates and reports on corporate abuses of the environment and human rights. He is a member of the Corporate Accountability Desk collective, a voluntary group based in Chennai.

T. Venkat is an indepedent researcher interested in issues of globalization and its impact on Third World people, urbanization and economic reforms. He is also part of Corporate Accountability Desk.

Dharmesh Shah is an environmental activist and researcher based out of Chennai and Bhopal. Dharmesh has been involved in raising awareness on environmental and animal rights issues since he was in school. As a environmental justice activist he has worked with communities living around municipal garbage dumps in his town demanding their right to a clean environment and questioning unsustainable systems of waste management. Dharmesh is also engaged in an ethnographic research on the movement for justice by the survivors of the Bhopal Gas Disaster. He is working with the Queen Margaret University, Scotland and Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, New Delhi on this research.

We welcome these great activists and researchers to our team of collaborators. We'll have many updates on their work on the upcoming weeks.

Company Snapshot: 

Coca-Cola is one of the best known product names in the world, and the Coca-Cola Company has long been the leader of the international soft drink industry. Once preoccupied with its perennial market-share battle with PepsiCo, the company has had to cope with declining consumption of carbonated beverages, prompting it to branch out into juices, sports drinks and bottled water. While it has long cultivated a benign image, Coca-Cola has also been confronted with international pressure campaigns on issues ranging from labor practices in Colombia to water use in India.
