"Nature has been poorly treated, weakened, endangered. And more important, the population whose livelihoods depend on this resource is being endangered", says Lider Gongora, an environmental activist, highlighting how Ecuador's fragile ecosystem has become devastated by extensive farming. Although the industry employs 250,000 people in Ecuador alone, the remaining communities are being pushed out of their land. Between the shrimp farmers who control the land and desperate fisherman fighting for their rights to it: "The estuary has become a war zone".

Thank you so much for making this video. It was an eye-opener. I'm from Guayaquil, and I started working in the Shrimp Industry a few months ago. I had heard the damage this industry makes to the ecosystem, but I had no idea of how serious it was. I leave worried but thankful for this new perspective.

Nah..Banana, a very long time industry still bigger than this industry in Ecuador
America and China and Europe is eating blood stained shrimps from equador.😢
A well produced production. Maybe villages could club together and start their own shrimp farm. The actual mangroves don't seem to be very productive, just a few crabs and shellfish. Sure there are fish in the waterways?
They did not explain why the village was destroyed. That was a cruel and despicable act.
