  Climate change and its consequences are affecting the environment and our lives. The pictures I sent were taken in Guacoche, a village near the city of Valledupar. In the pictures I tried to show some of the consequences of global warming, ancient trees falling, dry soil, trees that suddenly burn.

  This affects the local wildlife - cows, sheep, goats suffer from the lack of water and food. The rivers are drying up and as a result the harvest of corn, rice and other crops is diminishing every year. What will happen to us - to humanity?

   

  It is time to take care of our planet because the effects of climate change concern us all!
