Denuncian nuevo ataque de militares ecuatorianos contra dos adolescentes y un joven
On March 31, 2017, the capital of the department of Putumayo was hit by a torrential downpour. That night and early the next morning, the Mulato, Sangoyako and Mocoa rivers overflowed. Floods and landslides devastated the town. More than 300 people died and more than 15,000 were injured.
► Eight years and three presidents have passed since the disaster, but Mocoa has still not been rebuilt.
'Mocoa is located in the foothills of the Andes-Amazon, between torrential rivers and behind a young mountain range, still in formation and therefore unstable. 💦The nature of these waters is that they transport sediments, sticks and stones that then fertilize the soils of the Amazon plain and contribute to the nutrient cycle of the Atlantic Ocean. 🌊 Mocoa is a wetland, a transition zone with microclimates, biodiversity and vital biological corridors, an amphibious place blessed by its water resources in addition to its biocultural heritage. 🐆🦋🐟🦜🪱 Their rivers are neither brave nor guilty, nor do they deserve to be violated by an intensive system of mitigation works. ⛰️ Their mountains cannot be stabilized by force with slopes, anchors and cement.'

Die kolumbianische Regierung hat indigene Amazonasgemeinschaften um Vergebung gebeten. Diese wurden während des Kautschukbooms zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zu Zehntausenden versklavt und getötet. Am 23. April bat der kolumbianische Kultusminister Juan David Correa die Indigenen um Vergebung für den an ihnen begangenen Massenmord.

26% of children had levels above those associated with adverse #health impacts. In the Colombian Amazon, 24% of study participants in Indigenous communities of the #Putumayo region self-reported symptoms of mercury poisoning, 84% had mercury levels deemed unsafe for pregnant women, these levels were associated with areas in which “on boat” mercury mining occurred and their #fish supply, an important source of nutrition, was #contaminated.

Artisanal and small-scale gold-mining activities performed in mountain areas of the Southern Ecuadorian Amazon have incorporated several heavy metals into the aquatic systems, thus increasing the risk of exposure in populations living in adjacent zones. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the contamination levels of mercury (Hg) and manganese (Mn) in several rivers of the Nangaritza River basin and assess the exposure in school-aged children residing near the gold-mining zones. River water and sediment samples were collected from a highly contaminated (HEx) and a moderately contaminated (MEx) zones. Hair Mn (MnH) and urinary Hg (HgU) levels were determined in school-aged children living in both zones. High concentrations of dissolved Mn were found in river waters of the HEx zone (between 2660 and 3990 µg l−1); however, Hg levels, in general, were lower than the detection limit (DL; <1.0 µg l−1). Similarly, Mn levels in sediments were also increased (3090 to 4086 µg g−1). Median values of MnH in children of the HEx and MEx zones were 5.5 and 3.4 µg g−1, respectively, whereas the median values of HgU concentrations in children living in the HEx and MEx zones were 4.4 and 0.62 µg g-creat−1, respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed between both biomarkers in children from the HEx and MEx zones. In addition, boys presented significantly greater MnH levels in both zones. The greater MnH values were found in children living in alluvial areas, whereas children living in the high mountain areas, where some ore-processing plants are located close to or inside houses and schools, had the greater HgU concentrations. In summary, the data reported in this paper highlights that artisanal and small-scale gold-mining activities can not only produce mercurial contamination, that can also release other heavy metals (such as Mn) that may pose a risk to human health.
