COMMUNICATION IN DEFENSE OF THE MOOR
Panoramica Gualmatán Township where Green issues 104.1 FM Stereo. South of the Department of Nariño, which borders Ecuador, is located the town of Gualmatán, with 6 municipalities more like: Pupiales, Guachucal, Aldana, Sapu, Contadero, Iles, Ospina, share one of the most strategic natural areas such as the Department of Water star PARAMO WHITE STRAW.
This natural area covers an area of \u200b\u200bwasteland current of 305, 388 and 2,941 hectares of forest subparamo high Andes. This plateau in the last 10 years has lost 1,134 hectares, about a quarter of its natural range according MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE PÁRAMO SOSOTENIBLE OF STRAW WHITE conducted by the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Nariño CORPONARIÑO.
The main reason for so much abuse on the moor is the advancement intensive agricultural frontier in many cases by the poverty in the area, by greed, ignorance, and lack of commitment to specific policies in the issue by the municipality, lack of investment and lack of effectiveness of the environmental authority in the problem.
Paramo White Straw is the only source of water for human consumption for more than 100,000 people in the region, but not only for human consumption but for irrigation Holding an agricultural and ranching economy. From moor
words capture the water 44 aqueduct, without irrigation. Furthermore, this natural area is still rich in biodiversity of fauna and flora to be protected urgently.
The moor is also a fundamental part of the culture of the peoples who live around them. Around the plateau is woven throughout a long tradition of man's relationship with nature and the source of inspiration for all sorts of beliefs, myths and legends that are invaluable cultural heritage.
In 1995 a group of people very concerned about the situation facing the moor and indolence almost complete by this natural reserve was created with personality GREEN FIELD ASSOCIATION municipality, RESOLUTION 241195-01 November 24, 1995, whose main purpose is the protection of this natural reserve and natural resources of the region in general, especially water, through environmental education, environmental activities, management, public participation in policy public municipalities and regions.
to realizing the objectives of the Association we decided mainly by the media found that among the companions were people with talent and commitment to purpose. We knew it was the best way to reach many people with strong messages and environmental education campaigns for restoration and protection of natural and human environment. Our projects
media began with radio adventure, then written communication and ultimately the Internet, but also is fieldwork and various other activities which are described below:
GREEN STATION STEREO. In 1997, after participating in open tender by the Ministry of Communications Association was entitled to the grant of license to air a community radio station in the municipality, is born and the community radio station known as STEREO GREEN " THE ECOLOGICAL "104.1 FM., with Resolution No. 2726, May 27, 1997. His first broadcast was carried out June 6, 1998. The desire was to remove the air on June 5 World Environment Day, but was delayed by technical problems on a day date.
The broadcaster has been our main tool and front work, constantly every day for 10 years we are doing all kinds of campaigns, environmental programs, community journalism and ecological, cultural programs dedicated to the topic of natural resources, social control, oversight and support for the opinion and debate and citizen participation in the radio medium etc.
we are proud to say that at first was one of the pioneering stations in Colombia in the field purely environmental. It was thought that this name could not survive, since the content of the programming schedule had several programs of opinion and information, something that the audience was not used, but with much effort we managed to impose a unique style which while entertaining the audience is kept informed and a consientización progressive on environmental issues, local issues, region, country and world.
All programs of local radio and other music including spaces are fully appropriate to a particular style manual on what our environmental radio project.
We can say that today thanks to the community radio station and ecological Gualmatán is one of the municipalities over the heath care in the area that is within its territory. The community especially our farmers and especially children have high environmental awareness and especially awareness of the problem of general heath and natural resources. This has led now by determining Gualmatán Department as a municipality elects to undertake pilot projects aimed towards the moor.
achievements are tangible and are in the landscape and the attitude of the communities that have a high sense of belonging to this natural heritage sanctuary of beauty and life, but that same sense of belonging to public spaces, natural areas, the watersheds and water holes.
The word ecology is not just a word in the municipality but the practice and the lives. Which has no place to plant a tree planting flowers on balconies, in vacant lots, ditches and levees. Currently
educational institutions, municipal authorities, Councillors, community action councils, administrative boards of Water, etc., Have also taken the commitment to do positive things for our nature.
Importantly, the station not only covers the municipality of Gualmatán but 8 municipalities of Nariño in southern and northern region of the neighboring country of Ecuador, which has also reached the green message and take out all kinds initiatives for the environment that are made known through Green eco-station stereo.
environmental problems still exist but in much smaller proportion of the referenced about 10 years ago. We have to admit that our project is a process that must proceed without fail, which is why every time the community radio station seeks to further improve its program schedule, the quality of its content and the component of community participation in the radio medium . Green
Stereo social sustainability is guaranteed because it has rendered an important service to the development of Gualmatán municipality and the region, since apart from its ecological mission also has a large working face as is the strengthening and promotion of local culture.
From the station recovered indigenous music that was totally extinct in the region, today the music that makes our farmers enjoy high esteem, so much so that many stations have teamed up to open more programs for country music following the success that our station was in this initiative.
Green station Stereo In the past 6 years been promoting the artistry of a farmer in southern Ecuador and northern Nariño through musical composition contests with the "I AM THE SOUTH" that shows every Sunday live groups musicals of all municipalities in the region with many styles and musical ideas.
The station has a large indigenous music nightclub collected for 5 consecutive years, with which the audience is encouraged to develop pride and joy for the same. Our composers
farmers in southern Ecuador and northern Nariño sing to all the beauty of our region and the nature of those issues is always present with lyrics full of reflection, with messages for listeners communities. This demonstrates the success that the message of the ecological station has been in neighboring municipalities with their mission.
