The sand workers of Upala have a long tradition of extracting sand from the Zapote River. Using only shovels, buckets and boats, this activity has been an integral part of the Upaleña culture and the local economy, supporting more than 60 families, some of whom have worked in the River for more than 40 years. However, the recent ban on artisanal extraction, while concessions are granted to companies that use machinery, has generated deep frustration among the sand workers and the people of Upala. The disparity in treatment between local sand workers and companies, in a region with few job alternatives, highlights an injustice that could aggravate the economic and social situation in the community. The situation highlights the urgent need to find solutions for sand workers and their families.
