The indigenous people and Mangrouv are intertwined in its roots in Oaxaka. Human hand threatens its existence

CIRILA and Dámaaso, a resident of the original and Afrusian societies in the coastal region of Oaxaca, which shares the love of mangroves or water trees, which is in Mixteco Call: Yutu Nu Miñi.

The history of these indigenous peoples in Villa de Totopik, at the Lagonas National Park in Chakahua – – in an hour and a half of Porto Eskondoido – was always linked to the sea, fishing and mangroves, as it is reflected in the colored gypsies in the municipal palace.

Dámanaso noyola, which has been learned from a young age the importance of the mangrove as a source of life, because its long roots are an area of ​​shelter, food, and raising commercial species of fish, mollusks and crustaceans.

Thanks to the mangroves, Cerela Martinez, he was able to implement his children and give them a university profession, because with her husband she was dedicated to Tichinda fish for 40 years.

He explained that Tichinda is the black hero who lives in the mangrove, and works to prepare Ceviche, Tamales or Amarilto.

The closure of their roots, the inhabitants of these sites also realize the importance of mangrove as natural barriers against hurricanes, which are increasingly repeated and strong.

That is why we love the mangrove a lot, we want them a lot, because they defend us about everything; When hurricanes come, nothing happens to us, because I look, the roots are well buried, ”Donna Serilla said.

Protected Natural Zone

Lagunas de Chatahua, Hogar De Ciria and Dámaso National Park, a site for its wetlands of international importance, but also a mangrove cemetery, where large extensions of dead trees can be observed, which can be seen this coast.

Jose Darenil Diaz, director of the Lagonas National Park in Chakahua, announced that 15 percent of the surface of this protected natural area is one of the first in Mexico, which was created under the then President’s decree of Zaro Kardins on July 9, 1937, is the Managrav forest, which covers nearly a thousand hectares, with red and profits.

The agricultural expert with extensive experience in managing and sponsoring natural reserves indicated that the effects of the Chakhaua Lakes are caused by pollution and corrosion of human activities.

We have a garden surrounded by agricultural areas, outside there are crops, sustainable production units for us, and thus affect the mangrove. “

restoration

Looking at this bleak panorama, Costa Salvagi was organized with members of society in San Pedro Totopik and Zapotillo and EL SULFUR societies, to launch the mangroves restoration program, in line with the presidential strategy to restore 30 percent of the deteriorating mangruits in Mexico by 2030.

We are isolated from the policies of the President of Mexico, Dr. Claudia Shinbom. “On the part of Costa Wilde, we want to work the shoulder with Alicia Parsena, Minister of Environment, and with her entire team to reach this ambitious goal,” said Fay Criffoshai, Director of Public Policy and Communication with the Environment Organization.

He explained that the project has scientific rules and international finance, and therefore public resources are not required, only institutional support.

For his part, the director of the Lagonas National Park in Chakoa has acknowledged that civil society organizations play a fundamental role in enhancing societal work relations “as a coalition that contributes to memorization.”

progress

In this way, see Ciria and Dámaso, see today in water trees, a way to improve the living conditions of their families, and to obtain a safe income that restores Managrav from the National Chakahua Park.

Cerela Martinez, a resident of Zapotalto, said there are many people here who have no job, and they have nothing, and the mangroves cultivation is a good choice.

For his part, Dámaso Noolala, a resident of El Sulfur, announced itself ready to start cultivating the mangroves that planted a release in two community sessions.

On the other hand, Osiris Reyes, Secretary of Community Assets in San Pedro Totopik, said this initiative can become an economic alternative to the UK deportation in this new era from Donald Trump.

Because they are not ready to return from moment to moment to their original place, and this project will give them income so that they can be proven again. ”

He stressed that the restoration program was supported by an association by 200 members of the community at San Pedro Tututepec, who are convinced of the importance of keeping the mangroves alive, for the environmental services they provide and the economic benefits generated to the region.

In these sites where most men, adults, and youth are, they went to work north, and more than 60 percent of the population in poverty, what is missing is opportunities, especially for the indigenous population and overomsicanos, for many forgotten years of forgotten.

More than 50 percent of the entire population of Oaxaka coast, from Afro, from Afro, from the first slaves who were brought by the Spaniards to these lands he controlled at the time by the Mixtec 8 Venado Garra de Jaguar ruler.

Reintegration

Francisco Martinez, director of Mangrov preserving in Costa Salvaji, revealed that after conducting technical and topographical studies, they identified an area of ​​71.2 hectares, divided into five polygons, where it is necessary to interfere in the Lagonas de Chakua National Park.

He said that these Managruf areas were affected since the late 1970s, when the green river, which was the main tributary of freshwater in the lake system, was affected in order to construct papaya, watermelon and lemon farms mainly.

All this produces a great pollution by fertilizers and pesticides, which provide excess nutrients for mangrove projects, and the other threat that also exists is the extraction of the wooden ant to build housing or to obtain vegetable coal. “

The biologist who holds a master’s degree in managing the ecosystem indicated that in these sites it is required of negative intervention, that is, allowing the coastal ecosystem to recover on its own, until the reopening of the channels, to allow water flow, and re -move with the mangrove plants planted in the community’s junios.

It is a long -term process, when we manage society, we say to society members and residents of the regions, that we will marry for at least 10 years, because it is an ongoing job; That is why the recovery costs, because if we plant and not take care of it, the system is turbulent; You have to accompany the seedlings, and take care of them as if our daughters were. “

An alliance of mangroves

To achieve the confidence of peoples and members of society in this project, field work was required, and many hours under the sun and transparency and above all respect for the word committed.

Mitzi Guterres, director of the mangrove recovery of the wild coast in Oaxaka, admitted that it was difficult to persuade societies, after many years of giving up and marginalizing.

For years and years, these peoples have witnessed many projects, which have arrived with their arrival, without leaving any benefit. “

The biologist who carries mastery of natural resources and rural development celebrated that most people who cooperate in this restoration program are women, who will have economic independence with the income they receive, and they can support family spending, which often leaves fishing.

Carbon ponds

The restoration of the Lagonas National Park in Chakahua is not only socially and economically for Oksaka or Mexico, but rather an environmental advantage in the world.

In modern general intervention, Alicia Parsina, head of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Searnat), highlighted the importance of mangrove as an effective basin in carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas that causes climate change.

He said, “The mangrove park can store three thousand 754 tons of carbon. Imagine that in one hectare, there is the equivalent of emissions that generate two thousand 650 cars per year,” he said.

Bureaucracy

Now only the presidential line and the Searnat representation office in Oaxaca Dreded, is presented after nearly two years of procedures, so that it becomes the restoration of the mangroves in the National Lagunas Park in Chakahua.

So far, the bureaucracy, which has already moved from six years to another, and from one delegate, has been prevented from generating indigenous and Euphraum societies in the Costa de Oakaka region, with the mangrove.

Representatives of the collective assets, Lisan Pedro Totobic, continue to move and shift to the state capital, in search of approval, the first director of the office, Abraham Sanchez Martinez, and now for a movie Manzano Mendes, for a project that will not cost him a single weight of the general storage and has all technical and scientific studies of crowding.

While the long wait for the continuation of sulfur and zebotalito continues, other marginal societies such as Rio Siko, in the Tortojoireo of Muro Iowa, raise their hands into the actions of the restoration of the mangroves trees in Oxaka, as a way to ensure the future for future generations future generations.
