Desde hace varios años, pueblos y comunidades Indígenas en el Sureste de México, que comprende Estados como Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatán y Quintana Roo, se enfrentan a todo tipo de megaproyectos en sus territorios. Cientos de hectáreas de selvas han sido devastadas para dar paso a monocultivos de soya, sorgo y arroz; también para la instalación de mega granjas de cerdos, parques eólicos y fotovoltaicos, y recientemente, para el paso del llamado Tren Maya.
El Día Mundial del Agua se celebra el 22 de marzo de cada año para “llamar la atención sobre la importancia de este elemento, defender la gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos” y asegurarnos de que “todas las personas tendrán acceso a agua y saneamiento gestionados de manera segura para el año 2030”. Aunque esta última meta es parte de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, firmados en el 2015 por todos los Estados miembros de las Naciones Unidas, aún estamos muy lejos de lograr el acceso al agua para todas las personas que habitamos este planeta.

Governments or states make use of geographical boundaries to demarcate territories. Political entities come to agreements on which area belongs to whom. In some cases, borders are agreed upon by two countries, and in other cases it may have been suggested by a third party like an international conference. In many cases, borders are imposed on places, without taking into consideration the people who live in that area. In this program, we speak to Aslak Holmberg from the Saami Council in Finland, who tells us how borders have affected his life, as well as his environment.

International conferences, under the title Indigenous Terra Madre, have been held across the globe first in Sweden in 2011 and then India to explore topics related to Indigenous food sovereignty and better spread the vast agricultural knowledge that has been passed down through Indigenous communities for generations.
