Sr Director:
mass fish mortalities: Natural Death by cold or by Ecocide Widespread contamination?
Could it be that being surrounded by increasingly polluted rivers we want to explain to the catastrophic death of fish that has been going on for almost two months due to cold?
32 years ago to live in the Delta, as many as I work to denounce the increasing pollution of our rivers, Reconquista, Stream, River Plate, Luján and the first section of the Paraná Delta.
pollution sincere dictatorship with the "Compensation Fee" (polluter pays): namely, to continue poisoning, had to pay. (When they did). Democratic governments repealed that law and democratized grim pollution. Now do not pay anything to keep polluting.
So far the fish kills that occurs every so often, was attributed specifically to the pollution of water by the presence of waste (industrial effluents and sewage). Within the industrial effluents appear Pesticides (herbicides and chemical fertilizers in general) more leachate (liquid waste). Climate Change If we have shorter winters and warmer and the contamination is higher, why believe that fish die from cold if earlier with longer winters and more intense this was not true?
We can see the pollution it will produce Botnia in Uruguay, but we can not see the "thousands of Bothnia" we already have in Argentina, all increasingly polluted waters. It should be added to the more polluting industrial processes is the Agribusiness export of grain, mainly. Increasingly expanded and was completely controls that are poisoning, with its expansion, all rivers.
One wonders when exhibited increased production numbers in millions and millions of tons, how many millions of tons of pesticides are our rivers. Industrial exports in general and mineral extraction also produced serious environmental damage.
Have we asked the extent of environmental damage that we are leaving this "Model of Progress, Development" without an effective policy of protection and preservation of our common resources (natural resources)? Da
much helplessness and shame, being so obviously the result of these ecocide, no reaction Fast and effective policy makers in specific officials in the agenda to "make the media" and social participation for the changes.
Environmental Damage because they continue over time and involve the generations that come after us, should be considered "crimes against humanity" should not be released from prison or prescribing until the damage is repaired.
The mass death of fish is not only the death of fish. Disease and death is the water in which they live and death of other species, being 75% water in our body, is the advance of our own disease. Death is our destiny and common humanity. Rio kill ... Kill!
Sincerely, Martín Nunziata
