Ko Guadeloupe me Martinique ētahi o ngā whenua e tino pāngia ana e te mate pukupuku repeure i te ao, ā, kua neke atu i te 20 tau te whakamahinga whānui o te chlordecone i runga i ngā māra ahuwhenua.
I tīmata a Tiburts Cleon ki te mahi i a ia e taiohi ana i ngā māra panana nui o Guadeloupe. Mō ngā tekau tau e rima, i mahi ia i ngā mara, i noho roa i raro i te rā o te Karipiana. Kātahi, i muri i ētahi marama i tana reti i te tau 2021, ka kitea he mate pukupuku repeure tōna, he mate i pā ki te tini o ōna hoa mahi.
I tino angitu te maimoatanga me te pokanga a Kleon, ā, e whakaaro ana ia he waimarie ia kua ora. Heoi, ko ngā hua o te tango i te repeure mō te wā roa, pērā i te kore e taea te pupuri i te mimi, te kore tamariki me te kore e taea te ure, ka taea te whakarerekē i te oranga. Nā te mea, he maha ngā hoa mahi a Kleon e whakama ana, e kore hoki e pai ki te kōrero ki te iwi whānui mō ō rātou uauatanga. "I rerekē te ao i te wā i kitea ai he mate pukupuku repeure ahau," tana kī. "Ka ngaro te hiahia o ētahi ki te ora."
I tino kaha te riri o ngā kaimahi. I ngā wā katoa e ara ake ai te kaupapa o te chlordecone, he nui te riri e anga atu ana ki te hunga whai mana – ki te kāwanatanga, ki ngā kaihanga patu pepeke me te umanga panana.
I mahi a Jean-Marie Nomertain i ngā māra panana o Guadeloupe tae noa ki te tau 2001. I tēnei rā, ko ia te hēkeretari matua o te Kotahitanga Whānui o ngā Reipa o te moutere, e tohu ana i ngā kaimahi māra. E whakapae ana ia i te raruraru ki te kāwanatanga Wīwī me ngā kaihanga panana. "He paihana ā-tūturu nā te kāwanatanga, ā, i tino mōhio rātou ki ngā hua," tana kī.
E whakaatu ana ngā tuhinga, mai anō i te tau 1968, i whakakahoretia te tono whakaaetanga ki te whakamahi i te Chlordecone nā te mea i whakaatuhia e ngā rangahau he paitini ki ngā kararehe, ā, he tūponotanga hoki ki te poke o te taiao. Whai muri i te maha o ngā kōrero whakahaere me ētahi atu uiuinga, i whakakorea e te tari tana whakatau, ā, i whakaaetia te whakamahinga o te Chlordecone i te tau 1972. I whakamahia te Chlordecone mō ngā tau e rua tekau.
I te tau 2021, i tāpirihia e te kāwanatanga Wīwī te mate pukupuku repeure ki te rārangi o ngā mate mahi e pā ana ki te pānga o ngā patu pepeke, he wikitoria iti tēnei mō ngā kaimahi. I whakatūria e te kāwanatanga he pūtea hei utu mō ngā patunga, ā, i te mutunga o te tau kua hipa, kua whakaaetia ngā kereme 168.
Ki ētahi, he iti rawa, he tomuri rawa. Ka haere a Yvon Serenus, te perehitini o te Martinique Union of Agricultural Workers Poisoned by Pesticides, mā Martinique ki te toro i ngā kaimahi māra e mate ana. Kotahi te haora te taraiwa mai i te tāone matua o Fort-de-France ki Sainte-Marie, ka toro atu ngā māra panana mutunga kore ki te pae tawhiti—he whakamaharatanga nui kei te pā tonu te umanga panana ki te whenua me ōna tāngata.
Ko te kaimahi i tūtaki a Silen i tēnei wā he tangata kua reti tata nei. E 65 noa iho ōna tau, ā, e manawa ana mā te āwhina o te mīhini manawa. I a rāua e tīmata ana ki te kōrero i te reo Creole me te whakakī i ngā puka, ka hohoro tana whakatau he nui rawa te mahi. Ka tohu ia ki tētahi tuhinga ā-ringa i runga i te tēpu. I roto i taua tuhinga he 10 pea ngā mate, tae atu ki tētahi "raruraru repeure" i kitea ai ia kei a ia.
He maha ngā kaimahi i tūtaki ia i pāngia e ngā mate maha, ehara i te mate pukupuku repeure anake. Ahakoa kei te rangahauhia ētahi atu pānga o te chlordecone, pērā i ngā raruraru homoni me te ngākau, he iti rawa tonu hei whakamana i te whakanui ake i te utu. He wāhi mamae anō hoki tēnei mō ngā kaimahi, inā koa ngā wāhine, kāore he mea e toe ana.
Kāore te pānga o te chlordecone i ngā kaimahi o te māra. Ka poke hoki te matū i ngā tāngata whenua mā te kai. I te tau 2014, i whakatauhia he 90% o ngā tāngata whenua he chlordecone kei roto i ō rātou toto.
Hei whakaiti i te pānga, me karo te tangata i te kai i ngā kai poke i whakatipuhia, i hopukina rānei i ngā wāhi poke. Me whakarerekē te āhua noho mō te wā roa mō tēnei raruraru, ā, kāore he mutunga e kitea ana, nā te mea ka taea e te chlordecone te whakapoke i te oneone mō te 600 tau.
I Guadeloupe me Martinique, ehara i te mea he tikanga noa te noho ki te whenua, engari he mea whai pūtake hohonu ki te hītori. He roa te hītori o ngā māra Creole i runga i ngā moutere, e whakarato ana i te kai me ngā tipu rongoā ki ngā whānau maha. He tohu ēnei mō te oranga whaiaro i tīmata mai i te iwi taketake o te moutere, ā, i hangaia e ngā whakatupuranga o ngā pononga.
