Without Mangroves, There Is No City

In Cartagena, while talking about sustainability and urban development, mangrove ecosystems are being felled and intervened by the district administration without public clarity on the scope, technical justification, or environmental consequences of these actions. In recent months, felling has been reported in strategic points of the city, including the Juan Angola channel, particularly in the sections from La Unión to the parallel canal; also in areas near the Espíritu del Manglar park, including the sector where the Plaza de las Variedades was inaugurated; as well as in areas of the Manga neighborhood and sectors of the Ciénaga de la Virgen. These are not isolated incidents, but a series of interventions that put one of the city's most important ecological systems at risk.
