| Sumario: | In the community of Wimbí, San Lorenzo canton, in the north of the Esmeraldas province, Ecuador, forms of racism are produced that are expressed not only in displacement or accumulation due to dispossession of ancestral territory, which includes displacement and other forms of violence, such as intimidation of the local population. These forms of racism are expressed in environmental suffering, which affects health and livelihood, and should be understood as a way to ethnically eliminate people in territory, causing the slow deaths of Afro-Ecuadorian populations through actions and a lack of actions that comprise their health. The antiracist struggle consists of remaining in the territory and appealing to the right of ancestral possession as Afro-Ecuadorian peoples and to the rights of nature in the Constitution of 2008.
