This is Verna.

When one Pablo Coloso goes to spend time outside, he often encounters people thinking he

doesn't belong out there as a blind person, despite the fact that he's a renowned nature

recordist.

We need to change the culture and the behavior of people to really understand that blind

people can go outside and enjoy nature like whatever person.

One Pablo helped design nature trails in Colombia with features that make them more accessible

for people who are visually impaired, including guide ropes with textures that signal points

of interest and QR codes that provide info.

But one Pablo says these are not simply trails solely for blind people to enjoy.

It's for blind people, of course, but it's for all because we need to share the same places

in society, make places exclusively for blind people or whatever other disability in

my opinion is an exclusion.

All these things are for everyone, for older people, for children, pregnant.

People that broke a leg and is temporarily disabled.

How many people decide for us?

No, he can't walk on this trail because the trail, there are a lot of branches in the floor.

Ask first, never decide for us, and the second thing is, do nothing to us without us.

For Verna, I'm Joni's Franklin.
