Leiny Santana Lake Uru Uru, is the smaller brother of lake Poopó in the Oruro Department, Bolivia. Together they form a valuable RAMSAR-site since July 2002. A place where both, indigneous people and endemic and endangered birds, such as the Chilean flamingo, can find their food Although this beautiful landscape seems perfect (as some the pictures may suggest): Blue water, open sky, nature and people living peacefuly together. There is also a counterside. Both the lakes got heavily contaminated because of various factors. Mining activities in the sorrounding region, bad management of sewer coming from te city of Oruro and a too low awareness about waste management. Due to the contamination hundreds of thousands of fish have died in November 2014. Meaning an inmense loss of food and economic resources for the local indigenous Uru population in the region. On top of that also the danger of extinction for the red list species and the local Uru people living in this area.On the field trip we where undertaking we met a girl walking along a deserted road going through the Lago Uru Uru area. Driving past the heavily contaminated wetlands this only dramaticised the whole picture. We took the girl with us to the farm she and her mother where working that day at the end of the road where the road ends in the Lago Uru Uru. The farm situated in the little traditional Uru-houses, only less than a mile away from the heavily contaminated fields, keeps both sheeps and cows living alongside of the lake. Also a large variety of bird-species can be spotted in this area. Delivering really pittoresque images. On the other hand stories were told by the farmer that the sheep were being born more and more in deformed way. Also the farms’ cows where faced with more and more miscarriages. The cause for these severe problems for the Uru-population is not really hard to find since the proof is literally around the corner.

Hélder Santana Egretta Thula flying on the beach in Torres camila bosenbecker This picture shows to fishermen near the beach at Braamspunt ( Suriname) who are collecting shrimps that got caught up in their nets. Braamspunt is used by a group of fishermen, as their base for fishing activities (among other things), and they have set up camps there to live. Jonathan Tjien Fooh Traditional fisherman launches his "atarraya" looking for the catch of the day early in the morning. In the past, before the coastal wetland was degraded with polluted waters from the surrounding city of Cartagena and it's communicating channels with the sea closed due to unplanned city expansion, fish production was remarkable, supporting the native people from fishers town La Boquilla to live from fish commercialization only. Nowadays this natural resource is so scarce that fishing in most cases is a unwanted job, only practiced by elders.
