Zenú indigenous children are campaigning through the media to encourage local communities to commit to stopping the pollution of water and soil and the destruction of the region's few remaining forests. A lack of environmental stewardship in previous generations has had devastating consequences for the present: increased soil erosion and desertification; contamination of water sources; and more prolonged droughts.
All of these situations have deepened poverty levels among the local population and increased the vulnerability of children, youth, and women. There has also been an increase in the number of people migrating to cities, where they face situations of exclusion sometimes worse than those experienced in indigenous communities.
