In Colombia, indigenous peoples are fighting against the installation of the country's largest wind farm on their territory.
The project was however inaugurated in the Guajira desert, in northeastern Colombia, despite ongoing protests and legal proceedings.
This has created a great controversy, especially since the indigenous Wayuu people who own the land are among the most vulnerable indigenous communities in the country.
