Rakel Selina Rodriguez

Rakel Selina Rodriguez is a resident of Vega de Tilopozo in the Atacama Desert of Chile, where her family has raised sheep for generations. As climate change has led to diminishing rainfall and drying land, she has witnessed the adverse effects on local agriculture and livestock. Rakel is particularly concerned about the impact of lithium mining companies, which she claims are illegally taking water from the region, exacerbating water scarcity and threatening the delicate ecosystem.
