  • 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 />
