Free Topic: The Aculeo Lagoon

I lived in the Aculeo in the Paine commune since i was 10 years old, but during all my life I visited my family in every weekend and holidays, so I know place completely.

The Lagoon of Aculeo is a natural deposit of water that in the past lodge different species of plants and animals, but that now is affected by a drought that threatens to affect its existence.

Since I have memory the Lagoon has been deprived because all its coast is completely full of campings and houses by what there's restricted the step of the rest of the villagers. 

This has influenced the drought of the Lagoon because the same persons who live in there are those who turn the water away for their own use and contaminate it therefore the Lagoon is losing more and more depth, in addition to climatic factors like the decrease of the rains, losing approximately one meter per year up to coming to 80 centimetres that it has now.

For the drought many of the animals they have disappeared or have had to emigrate because they don’t have food and water to live, and the flora has been disappearing little by little.

For many years the villagers have tried to preserve this beautiful natural sanctum, but now they are being listened by the crisis through that the Lagoon lives. The coordinating committee #QueNoMueraAculeo looks as against the persons who turn to their houses and sowings the water of the Lagoon and who little by little are finishing with her.
