The Emberá, traditionally semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, have lived in the Chocó region at least since the sixteenth century. They co-exist with Afro-colombian communities that settled the same territory from the colonial period when they were brought as slaves for mining operations. More recently, the construction of the Pan-American highway, mechanized illegal mining and large-scale deforestation have encroached on the lives of these communities. Having lost their precious forests, many become subsistence farmers or employees in non-sustainable activities. | | Del av verk: | WIPO Magazine 1/2019 |
