Director’s Note

“The river is no longer the same. Fish are in short supply. We saw the Perené river that passes through the Impitato Cascada community; we watched it flow. That river goes on to reach Atalaya. The message we want to convey is that we must think about future generations. In Atalaya, they drink water from the river, but it is contaminated.”

Many years ago, in my community of San Pascual, and other communities such as Impitato Cascada, etc. the whole river was clean, there were many fish. All the people cooked with water from the river, they drank the water from the river. Now that the years have passed, the river is polluted, there is a shortage of fish and the generations are increasing. What is being done in the community is to farm fish to eat naturally.”

  • “Before there were snails and animals; the fish are now dead and contaminated.”

    Anyeli, San Ramón, 20 August 2022

  • “The river is polluted by the mine further upstream and also by the introduction of more intensive farming. The cassava plant yields less fruit these days … the work of these young women shows the potential and value of organization.”

    Sister Élida, San Pascual, 25 August 2022

  • “We live day by day. Sometimes we have community awareness of the issues. But sometimes not so much and we give in to cutting down trees. But we’re the ones who must conserve our forests."

    Community chief, San Pasual, 25 August 2022
