In recent years, it has evolved from just another concept to a tangible approach that can save and secure our precious soils.

Los microplásticos son contaminantes emergentes con una distribución global amplia y representan un riesgo para la biodiversidad y el sustento de comunidades indígenas en la costa caribe Colombia. Estas partículas son mayormente traídas por los turistas y transportadas por los ríos desde el continente hacia los ecosistemas marino-costeros, en donde se acumulan y afectan su calidad ambiental. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la contaminación por microplásticos en manglares y playas del área marina protegida en el Caribe colombiano. En mayo de 2022, se seleccionaron tres estaciones en los manglares y dos en las playas turísticas, en donde se muestrearon microplásticos en el agua superficial y sedimentos, los cuales se identificaron visualmente bajo el estereoscopio, se contaron para determinar su abundancia y se clasificaron según sus formas. La abundancia de microplásticos fue mayor en los manglares en comparación con las. En ambos ecosistemas, las películas, las espumas y los fragmentos fueron las formas más comunes, relacionándose con la deficiente gestión de residuos domésticos, la baja regulación del turismo y sus residuos y la pesca en la zona. Este estudio realizado por parte del equipo Ecoceanos aporta al conocimiento sobre la distribución, la abundancia y las características de los microplásticos en manglares y playas de la región, para generar conciencia ambiental sobre sus riesgos y promover acciones sostenibles que permitan prevenir y mitigar sus impactos negativos, especialmente, en las áreas marinas protegidas involucrando a las comunidades indígenas y a las sociedad civil garantizando así el bienestar general.

SUMMARYIn 2022, the Ecoceanos Corporation provided psychological support, workshops and educational talks to the Afro-descendant community located in northern Colombia. Several members of this community are strongly discriminated against by their own families, as they are not allowed to be part of the LGTIBQ community, forcing some to abandon their homes, in search of a more dignified life where they do not feel the rejection of society. Through interviews, we explored various discourses, meanings and practices that are permeated by various religious, cultural and social factors that often end up legitimizing different forms of discrimination associated with the reproduction of stereotypes.Keywords: LGBTIQ, discrimination, abuse, neglect.

SUMMARYThis article presents the initial living conditions of the members of the Zenú indigenous community, among these conditions are the water supply for consumption, health, welfare and environmental conditions. This community is located in lands adjacent to the Purísima village, in which they do not have the supply of basic sanitary services (drinking water, electricity, gas, among others) for the development of life and other activities related to it. According to the above, the Zenú indigenous community lacks the necessary conditions for the development of a good quality of life, emphasizing the precarious water supply system they have, as this has brought with it different environmental, social, economic and health problems, since the liquid is not received with the quality parameters established by the Colombian technical standards. Due to this problem identified in the indigenous community, a sanitary solution was proposed, which consisted in the construction and start-up of a raw water treatment plant, in order to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, reduce diseases, improve the development of economic activities, prevent internal conflicts, etc.Key words: Drinking water, Indigenous community, Health, Environment, wellbeing.
