Ecology and Empowerment, a F3E Network podcast. Colombia, for a political ecology of difference.
My name is Diego Escobar. I'm Colombian and I've been working, rather I worked for many years, in three regions of Colombia. The Colombian Pacific coast, which is one of the regions with the richest biodiversity in the world. I also worked in the north of Cauca, a region that lies halfway between biodiversity and the sugar industry. And I also worked in the north of the country, mostly with marginalized indigenous populations who work near the world's largest opencast coal mine called El Cerejón. The work that I am presenting here as part of the Ecology and empowerment project is entitled For a political ecology of difference. One of the examples I'm going to talk about here is the story of a man and a woman from Guajira, where the El Cerejón mine is located. What happened in this area? is that the coal mine expanded so much that it ended up expelling farmers from their lands, especially those who lived near the river and waterways. And in the end, due to the mine, those farmers were no longer able to live there with their animals and crops. The mine even ended up colonizing their bodies, making them a unique, universal place, as well as a place of salvation, a place of resistance against all the anti-ecological progress caused by industrialization in this part of the country. Investing in healthy, ecologically sustainable regions means investing in and for humanity. Because whatever we invest in regions in order to support communities and enable people to live in harmony with the environment and with their specific local ecology, will have truly positive repercussions for ecology on a planetary scale.
