Personal memory by Carlos Mao Muños
1987 • Armadillo Stopover, Ecuador
“Clean water in the rivers. When I was a child, we often visited the crystal waters of the rivers. Today, they are dry. They have canalized them to direct them to the bid cities or they are polluted. Along with the rivers, small puddles that came from the rivers that were filled with dragonflies and tadpoles and other insects have disappeared too.”
