Aves migratorias afectadas por contaminación en Pantanos de Villa
Summary
Pantanos de Villa, Lima, Perú. En los humedales ubicados en el distrito de Chorrillos, mejor conocidos como los 'Pantanos de Villa', se advierte la contaminación por los canales del puquial que alimenta de agua al lugar habitado por aves, peces, anfibios y otras especies.
Los barrios que viven alrededor de los pantanos se sienten 'alejados' de él debido a la poca información y acceso restringido en la zona residencial. Por ello la artista Eu Tazé y un grupo de activistas realizaron un laboratorio de arte reflexionando sobre la afectación a las aves migratorias que llegan a los humedales. También participaron las dirigentes de las asociaciones de los barrios en los pantanos quienes intentan cuidar el puquial que alimenta de agua a los humedales.
Sin embargo, la falta de agua es también un problema que afecta a las familias alrededor de los pantanos. Las dirigentes denuncian que llevan 50 años sin agua potable ni desagüe por lo que exigen atención urgente para evitar la contaminación del puquial ya que se suele usar el agua de ese lugar para necesidades básicas por lo que suele estar lleno de basura y químicos.
Pantanos de Villa, Lima, Perú. In the wetlands located in the district of Chorrillos, better known as the 'Pantanos de Villa', pollution is observed due to the channels of the puquial that feeds water to the place inhabited by birds, fish, amphibians and other species.
The neighborhoods that live around the swamps feel 'away' from it due to little information and restricted access in the residential area. For this reason, the artist Eu Tazé and a group of activists held an art laboratory reflecting on the impact on migratory birds that arrive in the wetlands. Also participating were the leaders of the neighborhood associations in the swamps who try to take care of the puquial that feeds water to the wetlands.
However, the lack of water is also a problem that affects families around the swamps. The leaders denounce that they have been without drinking water or drainage for 50 years, which is why they demand urgent attention to avoid contamination of the puquial since the water from that place is usually used for basic needs, which is why it is usually full of garbage and chemicals.
