This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While countries all over the world are on lockdown, and panic is the order of the day, this is a time when Indigenous Peoples around the world are encouraged to stay calm, and be strong, in the face of severe adversity.
What is most important to note, is that our elderly are the most vulnerable. We need to take extra precaution to save the lives of the ones who are dear to us, and the ones who have shown us the way to go, who have guided our feet on the path that we all walk.

The Covid-19 Pandemic is upon us, and we all need to adhere to all the hygiene protocols.
While it is important to ensure the well-being of our elders in the time of this global pandemic, let us take care of our children too. If this is new for us, imagine the psychological impact it has on our young ones. Take the time to explain it to them, first hand, as opposed to what they see and hear on social media, television and radio.

Los combustibles fósiles y otras fuentes de energía convencionales liberan muchos gases de efecto invernadero que perjudican al medio ambiente. Por esta razón, a nivel mundial se habla de la necesidad de una transición hacia el uso de fuentes de energías más limpias y el desarrollo de tecnologías como los sistemas de almacenamiento en baterías. No obstante, para la creación de dichas baterías son necesarios los llamados “minerales de transición”, cuya extracción aumenta el peligro de nuevos desplazamientos y despojo de territorios de los Pueblos Indígenas.

Los defensores y defensoras de los derechos ambientales son personas que alzan la voz para proteger los derechos del medio ambiente, la tierra y el territorio. Son dirigentes o salvaguardas de comunidades y defienden los derechos y bienestar de las mismas, especialmente protegiendo los hogares, el aire, el agua, la tierra, el territorio y los bosques. En este programa de Radio La Voz de las Cascadas Vivas, de Ecuador,  se habla sobre este tema. ¡Te invitamos a escucharlo!

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.
