  • Diego Luz Tzunux takes a picture with his cell phone of his brother Manul Lux Tsunux, who dissapeared  in 1980, and now is being exhumated by forensic anthropologists, Uspantan, Quiche, Monday, August 3, 2009. Diego Luz Tzunux was tortured and masacred allegedly by the Guatemalan Army during the civil war.  Forensic anthropologists have begun to use DNA sampling and analysis to identify victims of human rights abuses committed during this country's 36-year-long civil war that left 200.000 dead and 40.000 disappeared.(AP Photo/Rodrigo Abd)

  • Colombia, Macedonia, 2010. Agua final. <br />
Flotando en el río Amazonas se asoma el rostro de un hombre. Es niño, indígena tikuna y evangelista, y recibirá del cielo que lo abriga lo que su nuevo Dios promete; lo mismo que el Dios de su mitología indígena anuncia. Como Yuché, a este pequeño lo espera la vida eterna; al desaparecer su cuerpo, la selva amazónica guardará su espíritu y la vida, entonces, continuará su curso hasta que el comportamiento humano y las leyes naturales lo permitan. <br />
<br />
Final water. <br />
Floating in the Amazon river the face of a man is shown.  He is young, an indigenous Tikuna and evangelist, and he will receive from heaven what his new God promises; just like the saying of the God of indigenous mythology.  As Yuché, it is eternal life; when his body disappears, the Amazonian forest will keep his spirit alive, his body will continue on this journey whilst human behaviour and natural laws allow it.

  • Colombia, Macedonia, 2010. Un pozo con fin. <br />
Cuando llega la época seca del año y no llueve, los pobladores improvisan pozos artesanales para recoger agua pura. En medio de tal abundancia de vida, en esta selva se corre el riesgo de no proporcionar el agua suficiente para el consumo humano. Las consecuencias del uso del hombre sobre los recursos naturales y el cambio climático se tornan más drásticas en este paisaje virgen. <br />
. A well with aim.<br />
When the dry season arrives and it does not rain, the villagers improvise by building artisan wells to gather pure water. In the middle of such abundant life, this forest runs the risk of not providing sufficient drinking water for its humans’ consumption. The consequences of man’s use of the natural resources and its effect on climatic changes become more dramatic in this virgin landscape.
