Marmato is part of
the biggest mining risk zone in
Colombia; according to mining
institutions, the community should be
located somewhere else. Some day
Marmato might not be there any more,
because its destiny is obvious. Some
day it will cease to exist - Nature's
revenge for the long history of
extraction that has disembowelled the
mountain and has destabilized the
subsoil. Rivers, vegetation, women and
children, land, air, peace, all have
been lost, and so far no one has
demanded reparation.
El pesebre, Marmato.
