On episode 86 of the Green Root Podcast—the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance—we delve deep into the ecological, physical, cultural, and spiritual harm caused by mining public lands with Dov Korff-Korn, legal director of the Sacred Defense Fund.

Host Josh Schlossberg talks with Dov Korff-Korn about his work as an attorney with the Lakota People’s Law Project to defend Indigenous lands and sacred sites from extractive industry; the impacts of a graphite mine proposed for the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota, a sacred site known as Pe'Sla to the Lakota People; and how our movements might bring people of all backgrounds together to protect public lands from extraction.

The mission of Eco-Integrity Alliance (eco-integrityalliance.org) is to unite U.S. grassroots ecosystem advocates through common campaigns of mutual support.
