At the commemoration event for the International Mangrove Defense Day held in the biotic area of the mouth of the Riito, the director of Corpoguajira,- Luis Manuel Medina Toro-, invites the community to preserve the flora of the department, avoiding indiscriminate logging and burning, arbitrary disposal of solid waste, the stagnation of waters among others, highlight the degradation of the ecosystem.
Corpoguajira assumes leadership in the area in terms of environmental education actions that include an environmental assessment study, cleaning days, enclosure actions to recover the wetland and raise awareness and implement knowledge in the community about the importance of the biome.
The awareness day on the importance of the mangrove ecosystem was led by more than a hundred people representing the companies and institutions that make up CIDEA and had an impact with their messages on 212 housing located in the area of influence, whose route was zoned by groups of employees.
It should be noted that mangroves are the protective barrier against tsunamis in coastal towns., They trap carbon dioxide, that's why they are the lungs of the city., They are the cradle of more than two-thirds of the marine species on the planet and the habitat of crustaceans., birds, fauna and flora that maintain the balance of beaches and coastal areas.
Popular action is a mechanism for the protection of collective rights and interests that any public entity can use., even more so if your missionary responsibility is to exercise control functions, intervention or surveillance (art. 12 ley 472 the 98).
It is necessary mangrove protection, as a constitutional right to enjoy a healthy environment.
It is necessary to guarantee the recovery and restoration of the Riito delta biome and the Laguna Salá wetland, due to its special ecological importance in ecosystems located in coastal areas. “We are slow to assume responsibilities, The Mayor's Office must establish policies to vacate the place, Migration Colombia will have to assume its mission with the migrant population that inhabits the mangrove, “The public force must strengthen occupation controls on public spaces, understanding that we are part of a sovereign country where there are rules and laws that must be complied with and respected.”, the director of Corpoguajira pointed out.
Over 2.500 hectares of mangroves La Guajira is all in visible deterioration that puts at risk more than 70% of the species that are born, they live, grow and feed on the ecosystem. For this reason Corpoguajira assumes its mission of formulating and implementing actions to conserve, preserve and restore, but it will also adopt the necessary legal tools to enforce the environmental obligations that institutions and companies must assume..
