Sieben Jahrzehnte sind vergangen, seit die verheerenden Auswirkungen der #Minamata-Krankheit - verursacht durch Quecksilbervergiftungen - offiziell anerkannt wurden. Die Tragödie betraf Tausende von Menschen.
Eine ähnliche Krise entwickelt sich auf der anderen Seite der Welt, unter den indigenen Gemeinschaften im #Amazonas-Regenwald. Der illegale Bergbau, bei dem Quecksilber im Gewinnungsprozess verwendet wird, breitet sich rasch aus und vergiftet die Gewässer

El Día del Compromiso Internacional del Control del Mercurio se celebra cada 23 de febrero y no es una fecha cualquiera.
Conmemora la adopción del Convenio de Minamata sobre el Mercurio, un acuerdo global que busca reducir el uso y las emisiones de este metal tóxico en todo el planeta.¿Y por qué tanto revuelo con el mercurio?
Porque es traicionero.
No lo ves, no lo hueles… pero puede dañar el sistema nervioso, afectar al desarrollo infantil y contaminar ríos y mares durante décadas.
La historia que dio nombre al convenio ocurrió en Minamata, donde miles de personas sufrieron graves intoxicaciones tras verterse mercurio industrial al agua.
Una tragedia que dejó claro que lo invisible también mata.Hoy más de 140 países se han comprometido a controlar su uso en minería, productos industriales y procesos sanitarios.
No es solo política ambiental; es salud pública, justicia y sentido común.A veces pensamos que los grandes problemas quedan lejos.
Pero el aire que respiramos y el pescado que comemos no entienden de fronteras.
Cuidar eso no es activismo romántico, es supervivencia inteligente.Porque el progreso no debería dejar residuos que paguen nuestros nietos.

#minamata is one of the most intense movies I ever watched.
It triggers so many reflections, about the so called "progress" of our civilization, neglecting with the environment and harming ourselves, in exchange of capital.
A shocking and eye opening history, hands down.

.> The resistance of local and national authorities and the chemical industry was stubborn. Ostracized by unaffected residents whose living depended upon the polluting company, and over protestations even of relatives, Mrs. ISHIMURE persisted. A collection of essays by her and others, Waga Shimin�Minamata-byo Toso (Minamata Disease�My Dead People), was published in 1972. A second book, a compilation of her own perceptive writings previously carried in leading magazines and newspapers, Rumin no Miyako (City of Drifters), was in its third printing within a month after publication in March 1973.

.> As scientists, publicists and committees of concerned citizens have gained hearing in Tokyo, the Health and Welfare Ministry belatedly has acted. Though the chemical industry has begun corrective measures, the battle still is not won. As Mrs. ISHIMURE chronicles it, the Minamata tragedy is only a part of the ongoing struggle between the simple innocence of fishermen and farmers and the tyranny of mass industrialization that threatens to dehumanize society.
.> In electing MICHIKO ISHIMURE to receive the 1973 Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature and Creative Communication Arts, the Board of Trustees recognizes her as the "voice of her people" in their struggle against the industrial pollution that has been distorting and destroying their lives.
