El siguiente ensayo es el producto del registro y la convivencia en la minga de una de las quebradas del Ilaló, llamada "Rumihuayco" en Tumbaco-Ecuador. El objetivo principal de la minga fue controlar la plaga de "Thunbergia alata" una enredadera africana que está desplazando especies nativas y amenaza ecosistemas locales.
