Coriland

English:

Coriland: The Forbidden Town is a fantasy that contains several messages.
It teaches us to overcome our internal fears and to trust who can help us in the face of adversity.

It teaches us not to belittle the native communities, in this case, the Amazonians, who have a different lifestyle but who struggle day after day to conserve their lands and culture.

It warns us of the care and protection of the jungle. In recent years, it has lost more than two million hectares due to the afforestation of its forests; this has caused the harpy eagle, blue macaw, black caiman and other species to be in danger of extinction.

Illegal mining has contaminated much of the Amazon River with mercury, affecting public health, as well as the fish, reptiles and other species that live in it.

Calling us to awareness… What can we do to save the lung of the world?

Nos advierte a no menospreciar a las comunidades nativas, en este caso las amazónicas, que poseen diferente estilo de vida pero que luchan día tras día por conservar sus tierras y su cultura.

Nos enseña del cuidado y protección de la selva. En los últimos años ha perdido más de dos millones de hectáreas debido a la deforestación de sus bosques; esto ha ocasionado que el águila arpía, el guacamayo azul, el caimán negro y otras especies, estén en peligro de extinción.

La minería ilegal ha contaminado de mercurio gran parte del río Amazonas, afectando la salud pública, así como de los animales que lo habitan.

Llevándonos a reflexionar… ¿Cómo podemos hacer para salvar el
pulmón del mundo?

“In July 2015, I had a revelation… I got up that morning and immediately took a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote the name ‘Kuntur’. I didn’t know its meaning but when I wrote it on the search bar in the internet, I was surprised that it was a Quechua word that meant condor, it was then I decided to write the first chapter of Kuntur: Fight for Freedom.”
