Taiwan Embassy Leads Cleanup Drive on Asunción's Costanera, Exposing Chronic Creek Crisis
Under the motto 'Let's Clean Our Costanera', the Taiwan Embassy and the Asunción City Hall organized a large cleanup drive along the Paraguayan capital's waterfront. The action, which involved volunteers and local entities, highlighted the severe pollution of the Mburicaó, Antequera, and Las Mercedes creeks, which dump tons of garbage and sewage into Asunción Bay. Experts point out that without basic sanitation and enforcement, such drives are merely palliative.
