La Organización Mundial de la Salud ha señalado que el Coronavirus ha afectado a más de 170 países. Este virus causa enfermedades que van desde el resfriado común hasta enfermedades más graves.

En respuesta a esta emergencia mundial, los pueblos Indígenas se han organizado y creado material radiofónico en sus propios idiomas ejerciendo así el derecho a estar informados. Tal es el caso de la Organización Indígena de Colombia ONIC quien ha trabajado una serie especial en idioma Arhuaco de prevención y cuidado ante esta crisis sanitaria por coronavirus.

El Covid-19 sigue siendo una situación de gravedad, sobre todo ahora con las nuevas variantes del virus que se extiende por todo el mundo afectando a muchos países, principalmente a las comunidades Indígenas donde ahora ya no solo los niños y ancianos son vulnerables, pues las nuevas variaciones de Covid19 están afectando a todos en general.

Ha pasado más de un año y los efectos por covid-19 se siguen sintiendo con mayor fuerza debido a la segunda ola y sus variaciones, (según la revista RTVE, a la fecha se han registrado 3,348,843 muertes en el mundo). Ante esta situación alarmante se han acelerado algunas medidas para evitar que más personas se sigan contagiando, entre ellas la aplicación de vacunas contra covid-19, la cual en muchos países ya se ha administrado a personal médico, servidores públicos y personas de la tercera edad.

Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.
