Meet our activists in Colombia! The collective
@ciencia_local is our sister group in Colombia.
In November 2022 they held actions in Bogota and Casanare, calling for the release of our activists imprisoned in Germany and denouncing the lies and deceit of politicians at #COP27.
Voice of Colombia: "Politicians have to accept that political power is useless in the face of the climate crisis, only if scientific criteria are taken into account in the decisions of the states, it is possible to improve the future of humanity".
More than 200 environmental activists were murdered in Colombia in 2022. A dramatic reality in the global south: The voices of activists are silenced by threats, persecution and death. But this situation does not stop climate activism, because the emergency transcends generations
@ciencia_local works as a team with other local collectives, in the search for the protection of natural wealth, the defence of ancestral territories and the dissemination of scientific knowledge as a tool for liberation from intellectual slavery established since colonial times.
Voice from Colombia: "We need and demand that social and environmental justice, that the climate truth be told and that our voice be heard".
In February 2023, Bogotá will host the second "We Are Wetlands Festival", where actions will be carried out so that the message of Colombia's environmental defenders will reach the whole word.
