| reason for being |
A group of Venezuelans decided to establish a non-profit, non-governmental organization, independent of any ideological or operational dependence on any government, as a way to offer our modest contribution to addressing the serious environmental challenges currently facing our region, such as climate change, pandemics, massive climate-related human migrations, water scarcity, and others. These phenomena have already caused devastating disasters in our nations, such as the floods in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; massive fires in the Pantanal in Brazil and Valparaíso, Chile; intense droughts in Bolivia that diminished Lake Titicaca and in Panama that slowed the passage of ships through the Canal; devastating hurricanes in the Caribbean and the Pacific; and severe landslides in the Andean countries, to name just a few. To make matters worse, as we have seen, and as a result of environmental and climate deterioration, these disasters will increase in frequency and intensity every day. All of them have resulted in the loss of thousands of lives, countless damages to homes and structures, the disappearance of large areas of crops, and enormous economic losses. While some can be addressed individually by each nation, others require collective solutions. But this can only be achieved to the extent that our societies internalize the magnitude of the problem. In this sense, MASSIVE DISSEMINATION is key. And that is precisely the reason for our Association's existence and our central objective. |
