El oro que transforma comunidades: voces de mujeres indígenas del norte paceño

En las últimas dos décadas la explotación aurífera en Bolivia se ha incrementado de forma acelerada, impulsada por el alza sostenida del precio internacional del oro. Hoy una parte importante de esta producción se concentra en la Amazonia y en el norte del departamento de La Paz, territorios donde históricamente las comunidades vivieron de la agricultura, del bosque y del agua. Las voces que escuchamos en este video son las de mujeres indígenas del norte paceño que viven en este en estos territorios dónde se ha transformado el paisaje, la economía y la vida cotidiana de las familias, mujeres que hoy enfrentan los impactos de una minería que avanza sin límites claros.

WE ARE NOT A BACKYARD FOR DATA CENTERS | Idec

Artificial intelligence isn’t living in the “cloud.” It’s rooted in massive data centers that consume vast amounts of water, energy, and land. In Brazil, these facilities are expanding rapidly often without environmental studies, community consultation, or transparency. They promise innovation and jobs, but frequently export profits, strain local resources, and deepen environmental and social inequalities. This animated video by Idec (Brazilian Institute for Consumer Defense) breaks down the hidden costs of the AI boom and calls for a new digital model: one built on transparency, community rights, climate justice, and true digital sovereignty. 🔗 Read the full study “We Are Not a Backyard for Data Centers” (original: “Não somos quintal de data centers”): https://idec.org.br/publicacao/nao-somos-quintal-de-data-centers 🌍 Subscribe to Idec for more content on consumer rights, environmental justice, and sustainable technology. #IDEC #DataCenters #AIandClimate #DigitalSovereignty #EnvironmentalJustice #SustainableTech #BigTechAccountability #ConsumerRights #ClimateCrisis #WaterScarcity
