Aunque zonas del país como Boyacá, Cauca y Nariño han
salido en su totalidad desde el 19 de agosto, el Huila se ha demorado salir en
una gran parte por la indecisión de los cafeteros que ya anunciaron que salían este sábado. Lo que es
cierto es que entre los intereses energéticos y las políticas extractivas, entre la agro-industria y la militarización,
ya no va a haber Huila para los Huilenses. Ya no es una cuestión de querer
salir al paro, si no que el Estado no nos deja otra opción. Se ha convertido en una
responsabilidad salir al paro si se pretende intentar salvar un territorio que
puede proveer una vida digna para nosotr@s y nuestras futuras generaciones.

ASOQUIMBO´s land liberations start to spread roots
On the banks of the Magdalena River it is
evident that the last owners of these lands left them deforested, with serious
problems of erosion and soil degradation that is worsened every time the river
grows. The people participating in the land liberations are holding mingas,
collective work parties, to plant native trees to reforest these lands in an
attempt to re-establish the ecosystem balance between the dry tropical forests
and the river. "We are holding these work mingas, where everyone
works together, equally, and planting trees on the banks of the river that are
currently naked, grassy lots. If left that way, when the river rises it will
take everything with it. When the banks are sufficiently protected and
reforested, we hope to integrate citrus, avocado, and cacao trees further
inshore," explained Sandra Alvarado, a peasant from the region. Emgesa had
destined these lands to go to the Autonomous Environmental Corporation of the
Upper Magdalena, CAM, to be reforested and close off access to local
communities who have always lived and worked these lands. The peasants
liberating these lands are showing that they are capable of implementing
sustainable development to meet their own needs, without destroying their
territory.

Polinizaciones in Piamonte (lower Bota Caucana)
Polinizaciones
accompanied the Escuela of Comunicación Propia del Putumayo in the Lower Bota
Caucana to document different issues in the region. First were the activities
of Canadian oil companies like Gran Tierra´s operation of different wells in
the Costayaco, Guayuyaco and Moqueta petroleum blocs and Pacific Rubiales in
the Teracay and Tacacho blocs. All of these installations are connected to pollution
and have a negative impact on the forests and rivers of Caqueta, the Bota
Caucana and Putumayo. In addition to
the problems caused by oil companies, Polinizaciones documented aerial
fumigations, part of Plan Colombia, which only result in displacement and
making people sick. Construction of the marginal forest highway (part of the South
America Regional Infrastructure Integration (IIRSA) project) and its role in facilitating
the extraction of oil, gold, and other resources, was also documented.
This
territory is inhabited by the Inga people and more recently the Nasa and Awá
peoples, as well a growing colono
population that is the major culprit in deforestation for mining and cultivation
of mono-crops such as rice and coca, as well as cattle ranching. As expressed
by local inhabitants, these communities are threatened by displacement and
their future depends on future generation´s ability to maintain their
communities organized and able to stand against mega-development projects and
national parks.
