With the objective of exposing environmental bioethics in the daily vision of sustainability and climate change during 2020, in the department of Meta (Colombia), a methodology of reflection is carried out in which the way in which traditional newspapers, El Tiempo and El Espectador, approach the social, economic and environmental denunciations raised in the report of the social and human rights organizations belonging to the Red Llano y Selva (Llano and Selva Network) is analyzed. The results expose tensions between hegemonic and counter-hegemonic powers vis-à-vis the daily vision of sustainability and climate change. The analyses indicate that the analyzed newspapers affect environmental bioethics and daily life through the fictionalization of the reality associated with exploitation models. It is concluded that, despite the fact that these media influence daily life through the three D's and have been used as devices to capture the production of business logics of "growth-economic" activities that speak of sustainability in unsustainable contexts, individuals and collectives are connected and combined in a bioethical-environmental structural axis that does not separate knowledge and political practice, making possible the transformation of atavistic imaginaries that define the structure of the cultural basin.
