00:00What I love about my territory is the people, the community, the association.
00:05I also love every day, every tree, every species that I see.
00:11I miss this territory so that the people and the children are aware of the care of the forest.
00:21We are in the vered Morrocoy.
00:24This is the vered Morrocoy, from the municipality of La Macarena.
00:27We are in the vered Morrocoy.
00:32It is important because it is a place where we are between the National Sierra de La Macarena
00:39and the Chiviriquete.
00:42We are in the middle of a biological corridor.
00:46The vered Morrocoy was born in 2019.
00:49The need was to restore, to create awareness of the community and the importance of preserving the forest.
00:57Here we have propagated more than 120.000 plantulas in more than 140 species.
01:03The important thing is that we have learned to know and to valorize what we have,
01:08that natural richness that we have.
01:10We want to see the beautiful landscape that we still have.
01:13Because one says that it is degraded, but how do we make these generations
01:17in which we are in which we are, we want to contribute to the importance of conservation.
01:22And that importance is the care of living in peace with nature.
01:42I remember that my father and my mother were from the association
01:46that they collected the seeds and germinated in the vineyards.
01:53What makes me happy being part of AMPI, I believe, is being able to represent our territory.
02:03So what we want to do is show that there are women that are planting,
02:07that there are young people that are showing, that they are empowering.
02:12We want to show that there is also an organization that is in conservation.
02:17I believe that there is going to be a lot of youth leadership as a empowerment of women.
02:25Because it has been seen that, although there are 60 women asociadas,
02:31it has been seen that there are women asociadas, but also the daughters of these women.
02:36For me, it is a secret that in the territory, historically, there have been conflicts
02:44by groups like civil society.
02:47Well, there is, let's say, in the middle, what you want is that,
02:50that those territorial transformations, the change of justice,
02:56all of that, be with the civil society,
02:59respecting the rights of the farmers and the farmers.
03:02So, yes, we are with the transformations, but of an inclusive way,
03:09so that the farmers and farmers can participate in those meetings of decision-making.
03:15We need to change the communities in large scale,
03:18because that is what makes the expansion of the agriculture frontier,
03:24in extension of the forestation.
03:26So, what we seek is that communities change that way of changing that life
03:32that is, let's say, in large scale,
03:35and not that it is sustainable with the environment.
03:38Let's try to make the people,
03:40we ourselves, and with the support of some institutions that have wanted,
03:45or the ONG, those that have been, like the ICTJ,
03:48change the people,
03:50to believe what we have and change the image.
03:53It is the plan for us to say that the Municipio of La Macarena
03:57is the number one in deforesting,
03:59and why not say the number one in restoration,
04:04in protecting the fauna and flora.
04:05So, let's see you next time.
04:07We'll see you next time.
04:19Bye.
04:22Bye.
04:22Bye.
