En el marco de los 100 primeros días del Gobierno del Cambio, la ministra de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, Susana Muhamad, en Cartagena del Chairá, Caquetá, firmó el primer acuerdo social para contener la deforestación con los representantes de los núcleos comunales, Juntas de Acción Comunal (JAC), núcleos de desarrollo forestal, mesas de concertación y diálogo y organizaciones campesinas y étnicas.
Este es el resultado de un trabajo sostenido de diálogo social que adelanta la ministra, Muhamad, en su recorrido por los departamentos que conforman el arco amazónico: Meta, Guaviare, Caquetá y Putumayo, con el propósito de contener la deforestación.
La ministra de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, Susana Muhamad, describió los pasos con los que comenzará a cumplirse este acuerdo social, que busca contener la deforestación y desarrollar una economía forestal: “iniciamos con la zonificación ambiental participativa en 7 municipios del Guaviare y Caquetá, al tiempo que avanzaremos en el estudio de cuál es la figura jurídica que le permitirá formalizar la tierra a este campesinado. Este es otro compromiso del presidente Gustavo Petro, que es recuperar la selva”.
La ruta sobre la que transita este acuerdo tiene trazado un acompañamiento de fondo a las comunidades, garantías de seguridad jurídica, procesos de derechos humanos y un mejor enfoque en los incentivos.
El acuerdo
En detalle, en el acuerdo quedó plasmado que el cuidado de la selva debe ser comunitario y popular, de tal forma que se reconozcan los saberes, las prácticas y las formas organizativas propias para un entendimiento sincero y respetuoso entre comunidades, organizaciones, instituciones públicas y privadas; esto con el fin de cumplir un solo propósito: salvaguardar la vida en el planeta.
“Este es un día histórico para el municipio de Cartagena del Chairá. No puede haber cambios sin nosotros los campesinos que somos quienes estamos allí”, señaló a su turno Farith Murcia, miembro de la comunidad.
Los líderes de la comunidad expresaron la necesidad de crear proyectos productivos planificados desde el territorio, educación ambiental y trabajar por la no estigmatización del campesinado; Así lo manifestó el líder comunitario, Rafael Orjuela, “necesitamos que nos ayuden, que nos enseñen, pero también que nos demuestren que dejar una hectárea de bosque en pie es mucho mejor que meter una vaca”.
Al respecto, la ministra de Ambiente enfatizó: “esta es la voluntad de reconocer que con incentivos correctos se puede recuperar la selva y ser promotores de esa recuperación a través de mercados viables que potencien la economía. El campesinado de esta zona de Caquetá ha generado con convicción su compromiso de cuidarla y restaurarla, trabajando en alternativas que no deforesten”.
“Es una realidad que hay campesinos asentados desde hace décadas, se necesita una extensión técnica para la recuperación de la selva, con mercados viables que potencien la economía. También debemos trabajar en ciencia y tecnología que capacite a los campesinos”, afirmó la ministra de Ambiente.
Sembrar para la vida
Durante su recorrido por Cartagena del Chairá y como parte del acuerdo intergeneracional por la vida y restauración de la selva, la ministra Muhamad, con varios jóvenes y adultos mayores, sembró un Carbonero y un Guayacán Amarillo, especies representativas de este departamento, “nosotros como Gobierno tenemos que sembrar con las generaciones, ellas son las que enfrentan la crisis climática,” puntualizó.
Este hecho demuestra que es posible recuperar la selva, con enfoque de dignidad y bienestar para las comunidades. Hay que anotar que Caquetá es el segundo departamento más deforestado del país. En 2021, más de 38.383 hectáreas de selva fueron taladas. / Oct. 29, 2022. (Fotografía Oficial Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible / Emilio Aparicio Rodríguez).

A Assembleia Legislativa do Amazonas (Aleam) realizou na manhã desta sexta-feira (2), no Plenário Ruy Araújo, uma Sessão Especial em homenagem ao Dia mundial do Meio Ambiente, que é comemorado oficialmente no dia 5 de junho. O evento discutiu a importância das áreas verdes dentro dos espaços urbanos e foi uma iniciativa do deputado estadual Luiz Castro (REDE), que também é presidente da Comissão de Meio Ambiente da Casa.
O parlamentar destacou a interferência do meio ambiente na qualidade de vida das pessoas. “O ordenamento da expansão das cidades deve conter elementos socioambientais e planejamento de ações a longo prazo, assim como a cidade de Curitiba, que deveria ser um modelo para outras cidades por proporcionar qualidade de vida à população”, afirmou.
O Subsecretário Municipal de Gestão de Limpeza Pública de Manaus, Eisenhower Campos, falou da importância de interação entre os órgãos do poder público e a sociedade em prol dessas mudanças nas paisagens urbanas. “Precisamos dividir essa responsabilidade com a sociedade civil para que possamos humanizar o meio ambiente. Existe uma vacância muito grande entre a legislação e a realidade, precisamos humanizar as políticas públicas e apostar na educação ambiental para as crianças”, apontou.
Durante a Sessão Especial uma Placa de Homenagem foi entregue à Associação de Agentes Voluntários, representada por Karen de Santis, e algumas pessoas receberam Certificados de Homenagem para Valdete Araújo, engenheira socioambientalista e professora coordenadora na Universidade Estadual do Amazonas (UEA), Eliana Veras, vice-presidente do comitê de Bacia Hidrográfica Tarumã-Açu, Maria do Socorro Perpetuo Chaves, representando a Universidade Federal do Amazonas (Ufam), Maria do Socorro Perpetuo Siqueira (representando o Fundo de Promoção Social (FPS), Elizabeth da Conceição Santos, professora da UEA, Marcos Brito, representando a Arquidiocese de Manaus, Gabriel Carreira, representando o Instituto de Conservação e Desenvolvimento Sustentável da Amazônia (Idesam), Suellen Cardoso Ramos, catadora da Associação Recicla Manaus, Heitor Liberato Junior, presidente da Sociedade Brasileira de Arborização, Maria Olívia Simão, representante da ativista ambiental Muriel Saragoussi, Isandra Dávila, Fundação Amazonas Sustentável (FAS), Ana Cristina Ramos, Fundação Vitória Amazonica, Cristina Damasceno (Pedala Manaus), Fernando de Souza (Pedalando com você) e César Maiuruna (União dos Povos Indígenas do Povo Javari).

Jasper Francis Cropsey - American, 1823 - 1900
Autumn - On the Hudson River, 1860
West Building, Main Floor — Gallery 64
We look out onto a sweeping, panoramic view with trees, their leaves fiery orange and red, framing a view of a distant body of water under a sun-streaked sky in this long, horizontal landscape painting. The horizon comes about halfway up the composition, and is lined with hazy mountains and clouds in the deep distance. Close examination slowly reveals miniscule birds tucked into the crimson-red, golden yellow, and deep, sage-green leaves of the trees to either side of the painting. Closest to us, vine-covered, fallen tree trunks and mossy gray boulders line the bottom edge of the canvas. Beyond a trickling waterfall and small pool near the lower left corner, and tiny within the scale of the landscape, a group of three men and their dogs sit and recline around a blanket and a picnic basket, their rifles leaning against a tree nearby. The land sweeps down to a grassy meadow crossed by a meandering stream that winds into the distance, at the center of the painting. Touches of white and gray represent a flock of grazing sheep in the meadow. A low wooden bridge spans the stream to our right, and a few cows drink from the riverbank. Smoke rises from chimneys in a town lining the riverbank and shoreline beyond, and tiny white sails and steamboats dot the waterway. Light pours onto the scene with rays like a starburst from behind a lavender-gray cloud covering the sun, low in the sky. The artist signed the painting as if he had inscribed the flat top of a rock at the lower center of the landscape with his name, the title of the painting, and date: “Autumn – on the Hudson River, J.F Cropsey, London 1860.”
This monumental view of the Hudson River Valley was painted from memory in the artist's London studio. Cropsey adopted a high vantage point, looking southeast toward the distant Hudson River and the flank of Storm King Mountain. A small stream leads from the foreground, where three hunters and their dogs gaze into the sunlight. All along the meandering tributary there are signs of man's peaceful coexistence with nature: a small log cabin, grazing sheep, children playing on a bridge, and cows standing placidly in the water. Here, man neither conquers nor is subservient to nature; both coexist harmoniously. In fact, the landscape is depicted as a ready arena for further agricultural expansion. While autumnal scenes traditionally are associated with the transience of life, Cropsey's painting is more a celebration of American nationalism. As a critic wrote in 1860, the picture represents "not the solemn wasting away of the year, but its joyful crowning festival."
The painting created a sensation among many British viewers who had never seen such a colorful panorama of fall foliage. Indeed, because the autumn in Britain customarily is far less colorful than in the United States, the artist decided to display specimens of North American leaves alongside his painting to persuade skeptical visitors that his rendition was botanically accurate.
More information on this painting can be found in the Gallery publication American Paintings of the Nineteenth Century, Part I, 118-122, which is available as a free PDF at www.nga.gov/content/dam/ngaweb/research/publications/pdfs...
Jasper Francis Cropsey was born February 18, 1823, on his father's farm in Rossville, Staten Island, New York. He was the eldest of eight children in a family descended from Dutch and French Huguenot immigrants.
In 1837, at the age of fourteen, Cropsey won a diploma at the Mechanics Institute Fair of the City of New York for a model house that he built. That same year he was apprenticed to the architect Joseph Trench for a five year period. After eighteen months, Cropsey, who had shown an early proficiency in drawing, found himself responsible for nearly all of the office's finished renderings. Impressed with his talents, his employer provided him with paints, canvas, and a space in which to study and perfect his artistic skills. During this period Cropsey took lessons in watercolor from an Englishman, Edward Maury, and was encouraged and advised by American genre painters William T. Ranney (1813-1857) and William Sidney Mount (1807-1868). It was in 1843 that Cropsey first exhibited a painting at the National Academy of Design, a landscape titled Italian Composition, probably based on a print, which was quite well received. He was elected an associate member of that institution the following year and a full member in 1851.
After leaving Trench's office in 1842 and while supporting himself by taking commissions for architectural designs, Cropsey had begun to make landscape studies from nature. A two-week sketching trip to New Jersey resulted in two paintings of Greenwood Lake that were shown at the American Art Union in 1843. It was during one of his several subsequent trips to Greenwood Lake that the artist met Maria Cooley, to whom he was married in May 1847. The couple left for an extensive European tour immediately thereafter. After traveling in Britain for the summer, the Cropseys spent the next year among the colony of American artists settled in Rome.
Upon his return to the United States in 1849, Cropsey first visited the White Mountains and later took a studio in New York City from which he traveled in the summers through New York State, Vermont, and New Hampshire. When sales of his works were low, as they sometimes were in these early days, he would teach to supplement his income. The only one of his pupils to gain substantial recognition, however, was the landscape painter David Johnson (1827-1908).
In June 1856 Cropsey and his wife sailed for England for the second time and soon thereafter settled into a studio at Kensington Gate in London. There the couple established an active social life, counting among their friends John Ruskin, Lord Lyndhurst, and Sir Charles Eastlake. Cropsey executed commissions for pictures of English landmarks for patrons in the United States, and painted scenes of America for a British audience. In museums and galleries he was exposed to the naturalistic landscapes of John Constable and the Romantic paintings of J.M.W. Turner. At this time he also explored and recorded the Dorset Coast and the Isle of Wight.
Cropsey returned to America in 1863 and shortly thereafter visited Gettysburg to record the battlefield's topography in a painting. He began to accept architectural commissions once again and produced his best known design, the ornate cast and wrought iron "Queen Anne" style passenger stations (begun 1876) of the Gilbert Elevated Railway along New York's Sixth Avenue. For himself, beginning in 1866, Cropsey built a twenty-nine room mansion in Warwick, New York. He was forced to sell this home in 1884 but was able to purchase a house at Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, to which he added a handsome studio. Today the site, called Ever Rest, is maintained as a museum by the Newington-Cropsey Foundation.
For fifteen years Cropsey continued to paint in his home on the Hudson. Although he exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design, his realistic, meticulously detailed, and dramatically composed scenes were eclipsed in popularity by the smaller-scale, softer, mood-evoking landscapes of Barbizon inspired painters such as George Inness (1825-1894). After suffering a stroke in 1893 Cropsey, a founder of the American Society of Painters in Watercolor (later the American Watercolor Society), turned increasingly to this medium, painting both in watercolor and oil until his death in Hastings-on-Hudson on June 22, 1900.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC is a world-class art museum that displays one of the largest collections of masterpieces in the world including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 13th century to the present. The National Gallery of Art collection includes an extensive survey of works of American, British, Italian, Flemish, Spanish, Dutch, French and German art. With its prime location on the National Mall, surrounded by the Smithsonian Institution, visitors often think that the museum is a part of the Smithsonian. It is a separate entity and is supported by a combination of private and public funds. Admission is free. The museum offers a wide range of educational programs, lectures, guided tours, films, and concerts.
The original neoclassical building, the West Building includes European (13th-early 20th century) and American (18th-early 20th century) paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions. The National Gallery of Art was opened to the public in 1941 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The original collection of masterpieces was provided by Mellon, who was the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and ambassador to Britain in the 1930s. Mellon collected European masterpieces and many of the Gallery’s original works were once owned by Catherine II of Russia and purchased in the early 1930s by Mellon from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.
The NGA's collection galleries and Sculpture Garden display European and American paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Paintings in the permanent collection date from the Middle Ages to the present. The Italian Renaissance collection includes two panels from Duccio's Maesta, the tondo of the Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi, a Botticelli work on the same subject, Giorgione's Allendale Nativity, Giovanni Bellini's The Feast of the Gods, Ginevra de' Benci (the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas) and groups of works by Titian and Raphael.
The collections include paintings by many European masters, including a version of Saint Martin and the Beggar, by El Greco, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Cranach the Elder, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, among others. The collection of sculpture and decorative arts includes such works as the Chalice of Abbot Suger of St-Denis and a collection of work by Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Other highlights of the permanent collection include the second of the two original sets of Thomas Cole's series of paintings titled The Voyage of Life, (the first set is at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York) and the original version of Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley (two other versions are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Detroit Institute of Arts).

Andrew W. Mellon, who pledged both the resources to construct the National Gallery of Art as well as his high-quality art collection, is rightly known as the founder of the gallery. But his bequest numbered less than two hundred paintings and sculptures—not nearly enough to fill the gallery’s massive rooms. This, however, was a feature, not a failure of Mellon’s vision; he anticipated that the gallery eventually would be filled not only by his own collection, but also by additional donations from other private collectors. By design, then, it was both Andrew Mellon and those who followed his lead—among them, eight men and women known as the Founding Benefactors—to whom the gallery owes its premier reputation as a national art museum. At the gallery’s opening in 1941, President Roosevelt stated, “the dedication of this Gallery to a living past, and to a greater and more richly living future, is the measure of the earnestness of our intention that the freedom of the human spirit shall go on.”

Na última quarta-feira (10/11), representantes da diretoria da Komatsu Brasil Internacional se reuniram, na sede da Prefeitura, com a prefeita Marília Campos, o secretário de Desenvolvimento Econômico, René Vilela, e o subsecretário de Trabalho e Renda, Antônio Lambertucci, para discutir questões relativas à instalação da empresa no município. A iniciativa integra os esforços para atrair novos empreendimentos e, assim, promover a geração de emprego e renda para os moradores de Contagem.
O Grupo Komatsu é o segundo maior fabricante do mundo de maquinário de construção civil e mineração. Em alguns países, principalmente na região da Ásia, o grupo lidera o segmento. Eles têm 227 empresas subsidiárias, sendo 16 no Japão e 211 espalhadas pelo mundo.
Atualmente, a Komatsu tem suas operações distribuídas em subsidiárias localizadas em outras cidades mineiras e estados brasileiros. O grupo tem negociações avançadas para aquisição de uma área de 53.000 m², na Fazenda Boa Vista, na região Ressaca. Nesse local, eles querem construir uma unidade voltada à mineração, que concentrará outras unidades mineiras.
O vice-presidente executivo da Komatsu, Guilherme Santos, destacou que a unidade receberá investimentos para o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias relativas aos produtos desenvolvidos pelo grupo. “O setor da mineração está passando por grandes transformações e busca tecnologias alinhadas à descarbonização. Atualmente, está em curso uma corrida por caminhões elétricos ou movidos a fontes mais limpas, por exemplo, hidrogênio”, explicou.
Nesse sentido, o conjunto de investimentos previstos não apenas concentrará as outras fábricas num mesmo local, como pretende expandir a própria planta de operação. “Em 2018, a Komatsu tinha 750 colaboradores. Atualmente, esse número está em 1500 e a expectativa, com a unidade de mineração, é no mínimo dobrar esse número de colaboradores”, previu o vice-presidente executivo do grupo.
Como se trata de um grupo internacional, cuja sede está situada em Osaka (Japão), o grupo pediu apoio para que cumpram o que está sendo determinado pelo conselho executivo da empresa: iniciar as obras até junho de 2022, para que as operações se iniciem em outubro de 2023.
Dada a importância da instalação da empresa para a cidade, Marília Campos acompanhará pessoalmente os processos de licenciamento. Para a chegada da Komatsu em Contagem, ela determinou a criação de um comitê especial composto por representantes da empresa, de seu gabinete e das secretarias municipais de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Desenvolvimento Urbano. “Estamos buscando o equilíbrio. Queremos empreendimentos habitacionais que atendam a necessidade de moradia da nossa população, mas também estamos atraindo, principalmente, empresas como a Komatsu, cuja presença contribui com toda a cadeia produtiva do município. Não podemos nos tornar uma cidade de passagem, um município dormitório, mas retomar a nossa vocação histórica de uma cidade produtiva”, pontuou a prefeita.
O vice-presidente executivo da Komatsu acrescentou que as premissas apresentadas pela gestão vão ao encontro dos valores da companhia. “Saímos bem impressionados desse nosso primeiro encontro com a prefeita, que entendeu que o nosso projeto para o município é de um investimento de longo prazo. Não hipotecamos o futuro em função dos ganhos do presente. Temos sempre um olhar para a posteridade”.
O secretário de Desenvolvimento Econômico, René Vilela, concluiu falando da importância da chegada da empresa no município. “Os produtos desenvolvidos pela Komatsu representam o estado da arte da tecnologia de mineração. É uma oportunidade muito próspera para ambas as partes, tendo em vista que muitos parceiros de produção do grupo já se encontram instalados no município. É boa a parceria em que todos os lados saem ganhando. Trabalharemos pela maior celeridade dos trâmites para a instalação da empresa, sempre respeitando todas as obrigações legais”.

La Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar es el edificio más representativo de Zaragoza, el templo barroco más grande de España y uno de los centros de peregrinación más importantes del país. Se considera el primer templo de culto mariano de la Cristiandad y en él se conserva la columna (o pilar) que la Virgen María, la noche del 2 de enero del año 40, entregó al apóstol Santiago cuando éste se encontraba a orillas del río Ebro convirtiendo a los primeros cristianos. Según la tradición, la Virgen en vida vino a Zaragoza a confortar y animar al apóstol en su empresa y al entregarle la columna le pidió que sobre ella levantase una capilla en la que se venerase su imagen.
Se conoce la existencia de varios templos anteriores al actual. Sobre una pequeña capilla dedicada a Santa María la Mayor que databa del siglo VIII se levantó, tras la Reconquista de Zaragoza en 1118, un templo románico que fue arrasado en un incendio. En 1515 se inauguró un nuevo templo gótico-mudéjar que fue sustituido por el templo barroco.
El templo actual es el resultado de un complejo y dilatado proceso constructivo que arranca a finales del siglo XVII y concluye a mediados del siglo XX, configurándose, sin embargo, como un edificio de carácter unitario de grandiosas dimensiones, armónicas proporciones y gran amplitud espacial. Fue diseñado por Felipe Sánchez y modificado por Francisco Herrera el Mozo y Ventura Rodríguez.
Presenta planta rectangular de salón con tres naves de igual altura, siendo más ancha la central, y capillas entre contrafuertes rodeando todo el perímetro del templo. Se plantea de este modo como iglesia de peregrinación para circular por ella sin molestar el culto. Cuenta con diferentes tipos de cubiertas (bóvedas, cúpulas) que se alternan de forma dinámica sobre gruesos pilares de sección cuadrada, salvo los que soportan la gran cúpula central que son poligonales. Los muros se articulan a base de pilastras que enmarcan las embocaduras de las capillas. La decoración interior es obra de Ventura Rodríguez, quien siguiendo tendencias clasicistas, sustituyó los elementos decorativos de estilo barroco que se proyectaron en origen.
Elemento a destacar en el interior del edificio es la Santa Capilla, templete de planta oval diseñado por Ventura Rodríguez, que se sitúa en el segundo tramo de la nave central. Fue construida para albergar el Camarín de la Virgen, donde se ubican la Santa Columna y la imagen de la Virgen y que, según la tradición, es el lugar en el que los depositó María y donde deberán permanecer hasta el final de los tiempos. Sobre los altares de la Santa Capilla, dos grupos escultóricos de José Ramírez de Arellano en mármol de Carrara representan a los siete convertidos con Santiago y la Venida de la Virgen respectivamente. Este conjunto es una exaltación de María a través de los sentidos. En la retórica del barroco es muy importante la persuasión, y nada mejor para ello que la narrativa plástica del milagro en los tres altares. Todo se cubre con una bóveda elíptica calada que deja ver la decoración pictórica de la cúpula pintada por Antonio González Velázquez.
Del interior cabe destacar de igual modo la bóveda del coreto, frente a la Santa Capilla, decorada por un joven Goya y que plasma el tema "La Gloria o Adoración del Nombre de Dios"; la cúpula que representa la "Regina Martyrum", también pintada por Francisco de Goya; las cúpulas decoradas por los hermanos Bayeu, el Retablo Mayor, obra de Damián Forment y el coro de Nicolás de Lobato, Esteban de Obray y Juan de Moreto.
Al exterior, el templo presenta cuatro fachadas construidas en ladrillo y piedra, de gran severidad compositiva, con muros articulados por pilastras y arcos enmarcando las puertas, siendo la fachada principal la que concentra los elementos más relevantes como el relieve realizado en piedra caliza por Pablo Serrano que representa la Venida de la Virgen del Pilar a Zaragoza. El conjunto se completa con las potentes cúpulas cubiertas con tejas vidriadas rematadas con linterna y cupulín y las esbeltas torres de los ángulos que acentúan la monumentalidad del edificio y le confieren un dinamismo de marcado acento ascensional.
La Catedral-Basílica cuenta con un tesoro que encierra un gran número de objetos de orfebrería litúrgica, destacando sobre todo el llamado Joyero de la Virgen, con coronas, diademas, resplandores, etc. de piedras preciosas, y la colección de más de 350 mantos de la Virgen.
En el templo están enterrados la mayoría de los arzobispos zaragozanos de la Edad Moderna, así como los cuerpos de San Braulio y del general Palafox, entre otros. Como curiosidad hay que citar las dos bombas de la guerra civil, expuestas en uno de los pilares, que cayeron sobre el edificio pero no llegaron a explotar. También cabe destacar la presencia de las banderas de España y de los diferentes países hispanoamericanos, por ser la Virgen del Pilar la patrona de la Hispanidad.

La directora general (e) de Prosperidad Social, Margarita Palomo, anunció en el marco de su visita a Amazonas que se amplió hasta septiembre la operación de la Estrategia Unidos en el departamento y se acompañarán 4.211 hogares durante 2018. La operación en el departamento representa una inversión de cerca de $1.000 millones de pesos que permitirán atender a hogares en condición de pobreza extrema a través de 23 cogestores sociales que realizan el acompañamiento.
Así mismo, durante el recorrido por Amazonas se realizaron visitas a hogares promovidos por la Estrategia Unidos del proyecto de vivienda gratuita Ñia Nee Mechi en Leticia para conocer el impacto de la Estrategia en el mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida de estas familias. Por su parte, en el Resguardo Indígena de Mocagua se adelantó una sesión del modelo étnico con comunidades Tikuna para hablar de medicina tradicional y de las características de una buena alimentación desde la cosmovisión de estos pueblos indígenas.
Es necesario precisar que para las comunidades étnicas la medicina tradicional y sus especialistas, hacen parte de los sistemas tradicionales de conocimiento y tienen como función la prevención de las enfermedades individuales y colectivas y su tratamiento cuando se presentan.
"El enfoque diferencial es fundamental para llegar de manera asertiva a las distintas poblaciones que existen en el país. Es muy importante destacar que con la actual operación estamos llegando a 2.943 hogares pertenecientes a comunidades étnicas de la región para que superen condiciones de pobreza y vulnerabilidad y lo estamos haciendo con 15 cogestores étnicos.", concluyó Margarita Palomo, directora general (e) de Prosperidad Social.
