Ricardo Navarro, head of the organization, said El Salvador is going through an environmental “deterioration” as a result of the “lack of government responsibilities and commitments” to face the crisis.

The attacks are aimed at the national power groups, the Executive Branch and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN), which have not “reacted properly” to the environmental problems like the recent tropical depression Twelve-E.

Navarro says that what you get after a crisis like this one is “nothing” compared to its results and aftermath, that is why the lack of action “worsens the gap to try to prevent the damage against biodiversity”.

“We cannot continue reacting to the impacts on the environment, the problem is we need to take another step forward to understand that the development programs should be built based on the environmental reality”, he said.
