00:00Atrato
00:04Atrato
00:05I knew the atrato
00:09crystalline
00:11When the river was dry
00:13the water was green
00:14according to the crystalline
00:16and today
00:18it disappeared
00:20you don't know
00:22to see the bottom
00:23of the river atrato
00:26because it doesn't clear
00:27the water
00:29the water
00:32the water
00:33the water
00:34the water
00:42the water
00:43for us
00:46young
00:47boys
00:48at that time
00:48the most happiness
00:52was
00:52water
00:54on the river
00:56all day
00:5814
00:5915 times in the day
01:01but since the miner
01:03that joy
01:05that satisfaction
01:06we disappeared
01:08automatically
01:11but
01:12the
01:12the
01:12the
01:12the
01:13is the life and the sustenance of the economy and also the food.
01:17The court was pronounced after studying the facts,
01:20defining the treaty as a river with rights.
01:23The rights offered are in the decision.
01:26One is maintenance, the other is conservation
01:29and the same order is restoration and protection.
01:32I have a lot of information and so we have a good time.
01:35I ask you a good treaty for the treaty.
01:37I am Alexander Rodríguez Mena, I am tanguiseño,
01:43I am a tanguiseño,
01:45and I am a guardian comunitario
01:47from Río Atrato for the TC22
01:50that recognizes a Río as a subject of rights,
01:52a Río y su gente.
01:54The constitutional court said to the government
01:56that you have been acting,
02:00you have been incurring in actions or omissions
02:02for a long time,
02:03you are not knowing, you are vulnerating the rights.
02:06the rights, the rights of life,
02:08the rights of life,
02:10for communities who have been traumatized,
02:14have been abandoned.
02:15This sentence marks a precedent,
02:16or is a precedent important,
02:18because it has opened the doors
02:20or has motivated the judges
02:23to also emit mistakes
02:25in similar situations.
02:27Imagine, here I have 61 years old,
02:30and since I was born,
02:33I met my mother and my dad,
02:34I was mining,
02:35but they did a mining artesanal
02:37and they did not harm the environment,
02:41because they did it with their barra,
02:44their barreton and their ateas.
02:47Today, when the machines came up,
02:50there has been a temptation,
02:52because not only
02:54the land is destroyed,
02:57but also the land is destroyed.
03:17the people who have been
03:29In a case of statistics, they have made 10 or 20 operatives and they have spent 10,000, 50,000,
03:35100,000,000,000 of them.
03:37And we always reiterated that if those 50,000 or 100,000,000,000 of them that have spent in
03:43the operation
03:44would have brought us to social investment, suddenly people would have not allowed to destroy the territory
03:49because there was a project that would mark their future.
03:55Today, with the same load that they have taken to the land,
04:00they don't hit the plátano as it was, they don't hit the arroz as it was.
04:06And I don't know the people who will eat when they don't make a big deal.
04:11If our farmers have a life project in their territory,
04:17it wouldn't have happened in Rio Quito.
04:20Because I consider that if the government generates other opportunities
04:23and they can support the wealth of farmers.
04:26I am sure that many people today who are using the mining,
04:30they are doing other things important that also generate rentability
04:33and that also can sustain the family.
04:35But the fish is contaminated.
04:38They have studied.
04:40And they have a lot of mercury.
04:43Because as it's what they use, the mercury, as they say,
04:46to separate the gold from the water, and the fish is one of the sources of the alimentation
04:57of the trapeggio.
04:59In the case of Rio Quito we have several children with problems of malformations, they are
05:06associating to the contamination by mercury, but scientifically it is not confirmed.
05:12Mauricio Cabrera made me the exam, I was in the legal representation, and I have mercury,
05:19and since that time he did it, no one knows the magnitude of mercury in my body.
05:26The actions are left like in the middle of the road, after the study is done, there is no
05:33route of implementation, there are people who have gone with extremely high levels and
05:40now they have no route of attention.
05:42We hope that the pronunciation and the orders were more effective.
05:59The local authorities in the department of Chocó have committed to the sentence, starting from
06:05the Alcaldia to the Gobernation of Chocó.
06:08The intent is from the 16th and we are in 2021 and we are just looking at how we finish
06:15a plan of action.
06:16And then the administration of the Hacienda and the Presidation have to manage the resources
06:27to fulfill the order.
06:29They are obligated to do it. When will they do it? I don't know, but some day, so if in
06:34many years they will not advance with that, we will put a disaster, we will use all the
06:39ways that we have.
06:40To say the truth, today is put on the meat of cotton, but I have the
06:46hueso tostado, and I always say, well, if I finish this interview and go away and they
06:53killed me, they killed me by telling the truth.
06:58Preguntame, ¿cómo llegué a defenderlo?
07:02Lo defiendo desde mis 12 años hacia acá, y lo defiendo porque yo sé que sin recursos
07:10naturales, sin territorio, no hay vida.
07:31Y lo defiendo desde mis 12 años hacia acá, y lo defiendo desde mis 12 años hacia acá.
07:36And I will take care of you why.
07:43I will take care of you, because of you.
07:46I will take care of your own situation.
07:48I will take care of you in your career, where your child can learn about the
07:58You
