GREEN FIELD TAKES LOT FOR WATERSHED PROTECTION
By: Roger Vallejo Association President Campo Verde Association has already established 15 years Gualmatán Municipality, Nariño Department of Colombia, managed resources through agreements with the Autonomous Regional Corporation CORPONARIÑO to purchase a property in the watershed of the creek that supplied to the intake "Quarry 1", the same pipeline that supplies the village of the municipality.
This site is a symbolic act since her point of view it was an acquisition from organized community designed for the common good, and no other interest. This lot was a working ranch and is now populated again Mount for shelter benefit wildlife and water. The lot is 84 meters long and 30 meters wide. We know it's a small lot, but for a start and we hope will be many more citizens, community councils and community organizations in general to carry out this type of effective action for the recovery of watersheds that are completely deforested and exploitation agricultural and livestock polluted to dangerous levels the water we consume. The micro
devastated the livestock drink from the stream and are common times that leave their droppings in the water that will give the intakes. And when planting is to the edge of the stream, there is fumigated they're gone packaging and chemical packaging.
The public health problem because the water is contaminated with organic matter not only of livestock excreta but also sometimes throws traces of phosphate in laboratory tests of fungicides and pesticides.
Verde Country Companions scrubbed trees on Palm Sunday for his blessing and later on planting want from community organizations such as ours, set a precedent and an example of that in this way can also contribute effectively to the recovery of sacred natural sites for humans, but also for other living things which need these natural areas for their survival.
We have seen with joy and are becoming new species of birds that had been thought extinct. We have the satisfaction that properties like this one covered for protection, much to help the native species of fauna and flora back, but above all that we can ensure the community water for present and future.
As an association we deliver this item to Gualmatán and nature who benefit most, this property is already fenced and replanted and the time will do the rest of work is full of native plants and forest. Remains for us to taste to do specific things in our ecological purposes, and little by little we are fulfilling our dreams.
We plan to reform the laws regarding capital assets of the Association, so that when a situation that the Association is dissolved, its assets pass automatically to the municipality. This in order that these great achievements will not be anything in a possible future. Meanwhile we consider only administrators.
