Manifesto Against the Death of Lake Maracaibo

Read Only an extract of the manifest --- here

/ Manifesto Against the death of Lake Maracaibo /


For a popular agenda of environmental rescue

We, women, men, youth and elderly, children, born here or came from outside, regardless of social, cultural, political or economic, as human beings, we express our commitment to this definitive proclamation against the death of Lake Maracaibo, condemned for many years to succumb to hands of the so-called "development."
Our grandparents, our parents or us ourselves have been witnesses to the ordeal that the model of oil development and related components of urban sprawl, pollution, ease rentier and insensitivity towards nature, has led to this beautiful and necessary body of water in Venezuela, leading to the sad spectacle that is now filled with distressing signs of decomposition.
For nearly 30 years, counted from the creation of the Ministry of Environment, we have witnessed countless statements and proclamations governmental organizations, along with the endless protests of fishermen, still in force. Many times the official discourse is characterized by attitudes and bombastic grandstanding as that so-called "Second Naval Battle of Lake Maracaibo" or "Rescue and Lake integral sanitation." All that verbiage adorned with large labia and propaganda, we are shown today as part of a great gossip, whose worst result was the numbness and passivity of our people, rooted in years of heavy reliance on environmental authorities to whom ever " everything was under control. " Hundreds of pages of scientific articles and millions of dollars spent on research and infrastructure projects and environmental protection do not meet today, to deliver the expected results of our lake ill health, especially Lemna when we awake from our dream developmental dull, still pressed to forget our lakeside chronic environmental emergency.
The situation has not changed with each new government. In time, every ruler returned to the old discourse of "everything under control" even though (as Lemna shouts to us today), everything is out of control. Today we hear the very speech shocked "environmental emergency" from the government at various levels. Today we heard lengthy and detailed explanations of the phenomenon they call "green spot" and take back proclamations of "solution" that we no longer believe, or at a minimum apex. We are tired to hear a convincing turn officials that "everything is on track, heading towards the solution." Experts from all colors, knowing the chemistry, biology, engineering, etc. distract us again, reducing the problem and blaming it on the very consequence. So tell us about the benefits of disaster!.
is necessary to examine this issue in the context of the entire basin of Lake Maracaibo, and see clearly that Lemna is not the cause of the problem, but rather its consequence. The disease is now the lake is the result of deforestation in the Sierra de Perija about coal and livestock plans, also product of urban growth without environmental regulations, the historical neglect of the government in default in the installation of treatment plants, the uncontrolled use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides, and finally, the release of industrial effluents, oil, petrochemicals and shrimp without due control. None of the hypotheses that drive today to explain the phenomenon of invasion of the "duckweed" responsible enough to save the political and economic actors in environmental management, official and private, the lake basin Maracaibo.
Now, Zulianos come to demand something different. Promised not to fall asleep spells with media and politicians juggle plunged us into passivity and indolence for many years, back to our lake, we swear never to believe in false promises "comprehensive rescue the lake" and supposedly conservation campaigns.
Now swear to cling to our own struggle:
Beside the plan of emergency decreed by the government, we demand:
- A concrete plan and timetable for eliminating or controlling sources of pollution, signed by the authorized officials to act, otherwise resignation or dismissal from office and public apology to the Venezuelan sovereign people when it fails in the objectives. This plan will guarantee the communities themselves concerned to exercise the true social controls to monitor the commitment of the leaders who failed to attend the Lake as you deserve, and now resume their responsibility.

-The President of the Republic who recognize the failure of the Venezuelan state environmental management in the rescue of Lake Maracaibo.
- The Minister of Environment, the Governor of Zulia, and each Municipal Mayor, the President of PDVSA, the President of ICLAM and the President of Hidrolago to recognize the failure of the Venezuelan state environmental management in the rescue of Lake Maracaibo .
- For the Rectors and their respective College Council and the Ministers of Education to recognize the failure of the management of the Venezuelan state environmental education in the rescue of Lake Maracaibo,
- The President of Fedecámaras to recognize the failure of the environmental management business in the rescue of Lake Maracaibo.
- To be officially reviewed and submitted to referendum developmental plans that threaten the continuation of this failed development model pollutant, such as the Puerto America coal project in the Gulf of Venezuela, mining in the Sierra de Perija the large-scale salt industry in the Cienaga de Los Olivitos, shrimp production in Lake Maracaibo and the Caribbean Sea coast, among others, in order to exercise the participatory democracy in environmental management and recovery of Lake Maracaibo.
- that each one of the official authorities sign a certificate which is committed to achieving an environmental rescue popular Lake Maracaibo, arising from the organic constituent called by the popular communities of Zulia to organize the people and save the Maracaibo Lake of the death penalty made by development inherited from the Fourth Republic, today expressed plans called Western Development Hub.
ask:
- Each parish authority and each local leader or official, and each Zulia, every citizen had failed to recognize the vigilance needed to enforce Venezuelan state the necessary environmental management to the rescue of Lake Maracaibo,
- Each Zulia, swear over political differences, economic and cultural monitor strict compliance with the new agenda to rescue the Maracaibo Lake and its watershed .
