The Corporation for Humanitarian Action, Coexistence, and Peace in the Northeast of Antioquia, CAHUCOPANA, is a campesino organization, i.e. an organization of people from rural areas, the primary objective of which is to "struggle and build solutions to the humanitarian crises and the human rights issues plaguing rural communities in the municipalities of Segovia and Remedios, Northeastern, Antioquia.”  The region is rich in natural resources like water, wildlife, and minerals, including gold, which is the main source of income for the region.  Gold mining has triggered countless conflicts that have claimed the lives of many campesinos and displaced thousands in the struggle with large national and transnational companies.  These companies push campesinos off their land and damage the environment as they extract resources.
