That is supposed to happen for the human being aware of respect for their environment, about their world, respect for its history
few days ago was the Geysers keynote on national television address, was devoted to show how one and another was blamed, but never someone took a real risk. The Geysers for national teve seemed to be the new grace, something we have to talk, something must be shown. But recently the leak that occurred in the tatio arrest was achieved. After that time, the issue did not come out in the official press ceased to be subject to political candidates and turned to the grassroots, the people, who have always fought for the Geysers.
After checks on the flight, it became a subject that many thought was illogical, almost stupid and senseless "the company will continue speaking the geysers?, Which one hopes is an emphatic no from the authorities, those Environmentalists believe that profited from Express, but it may seem incredible, the exploitation of tatio is not a closed issue yet, you must first do an environmental impact study and if these are negative, I mean no harm, then you can continue the work
Again, we need happens to react, to change the whims of ambition and individualistic mentality that if the company owns. Was not enough the leak? Was not it enough to see the damage to the flora and fauna, it is not enough to know that a number of llamas, alpacas left their natural habitat because the noise of the plume and the temperature hit full pace of life they lead.
Apparently none of this is enough if we consider that not long ago, the geysers of Puchuldiza were damaged, with the same energy to find, to obtain water resources and ultimately these geysers are gone, now there is a system artificial fumarole launches for the European tourists will not feel cheated and The naive in this country think that Chile is concerned with the environment.
Puchuldiza On the case of the newspaper La Estrella de Iquique in 2006 published "Disturbance of water balance caused by the drilling carried out in dried Puchuldiza geysers of this natural attraction is now artificial.
Wells with chemicals that are hidden underground or simply left to the view of tourists who come to the geysers of Puchuldiza is the complaint of a group of tour operators in the region. If we add this mining surveys are conducted without any environmental consciousness, the result obtained is the suppression of this natural attraction.
Perforations that were improperly closed are a danger to the visitors of this area, mostly Europeans, who must see the contrast between landscape trucks, chemical baths and open wells, as well as workers in the middle of the Andes. "
Like in the case of Tatio anyone cares what happened to the indigenous people, nobody cares what happened to the flora and fauna, but unlike the previous case, the Geysers is the same condition which destroys the North geothermal company, is composed by ENEL, an Italian company, ENAP and Codelco.
At that time, the newspaper made an interesting point final report and we can see that in environmental policy chile, not advance
"For Antonio Mamani, the biggest problem is the extraction and exploitation of water by mining companies:" Water is increasingly demanded by TNCs that have no respect for our worldview. The legislation allows applying water as well. That logic, our communities do not understand. Water has always been occupied by the communities. Extract minerals from our territories with the promise of work and development, but leaving only pollution and drought. In Puchuldiza near Colchane, a mining affected the geysers and continue trying to build wells. What is development if we are becoming poorer? It is true that there are policies and some areas, subsidies and resources. But it is to 'integrate' or produce a 'development with identity', as they say. That is not our development and our worldview. "Education? There is talk of 'multiculturalism', but there is no exchange between the two cultures in schools or universities. "
"several threats against them. Between 1992 and 1998, the government authorized the construction of wells highland seeking "he said to supply potable water demand of Arica. The following year, drilled wells, which draw water to four thousand meters high in the Valley of Lluta. In 2000 the authorities reformulated its discourse saying "well serve to revitalize farming Azapa Valley." Large employers and Arica Azapa pushing for more water. Would extract 300 liters per second in the seven wells constructed. But served to deliver the application to mining operations, damaging watersheds and bring more drought and wetland species and wetlands. In 2004, Aymara and environmental organizations launched a protest campaign to challenge the exploitation of the wells and approval of environmental impact assessment endorsed by Corema. In March 2005, finally, the project was rejected, but is feared to be replaced. "
is assumed that human beings learn from their history or maybe that will be the eternal argument to justify wars, death, dictatorship, environmental damage, the total destruction of the planet.
I really hope that the geysers of tatio not join the long list of cases of destruction of this country and at the same time I hope that the curiosity of the official national press serve to raise a little awareness, to inquire more about this happening in this world to look a little beyond our belly and not forgetting our little native who has recently been marginalized, destroyed, humiliated.
not forget that we are thinking beings, capable of changing the world we live in, you can not expect anything from anyone, the people themselves must act, do not wait for all of Chile is dry at the whim of some
