Description
A shocking story of environmental disaster and corporate responsibility is revealed in "Algas verdes. La historia prohibida". Inès Léraud's investigation uncovers a decades-long silence surrounding mysterious deaths of humans and animals found on Brittany beaches, with algae being the prime suspect. The author's research exposes a web of influences, pressures, and cover-ups involving scientists, politicians, and agricultural interests. The consequences of this toxic relationship are devastating, particularly in Spain, where the Mar Menor lagoon is struggling with its own ecological crisis. Through her work, Léraud sheds light on the role of nitrates as a key factor in the proliferation of algae that harm the environment. With the help of ecologists and farmers who speak out against invasive agricultural practices, she presents a compelling case for change.
