One year has passed since the disappearance of environmental defender Julia Chuñil, which occurred on November 8, 2024, in Máfil, Los Ríos Region. On that day, the 73-year-old president of the Putreguel indigenous community left with her dog Cholito to search for some lost animals and never returned. Twelve months later, the investigation yields no results, as her family reports delays and discrimination in the process, and the question remains open: Where is Julia Chuñil?
