En Ecuador, el agresivo avance del extractivismo minero amenaza al país entero. En Napo, nuestra provincia, vivimos uno de los desastres ambientales más graves provocado por la complicidad entre empresas mineras, operadores mineros irregulares y el Gobierno, que han formado una red de corrupción minera que envenena nuestras fuentes de agua, desangra la selva, afecta nuestra economía y pone en riesgo nuestra salud.

Mamá wakes me up gently by whispering in my ear, “Claudio…Claudio. Ntakoo se’e. Ntasalistuku ra na ko’on. Sava’á cafe. Ntakoo ra ko’o cafe tatu kunu.” Wake up my child. Get ready, and let’s go. I made coffee. Wake up and drink coffee if you want. She wakes me up like this for school or on Saturday mornings when I help her and Papá at work in the strawberry fields. Sometimes I can hear her making tortillas and wrapping food for everyone at home around 4:30 or 5:00 a.m.
