President Morales must be encouraged to live up to his
grand rhetoric, and end his government's hurried measures
to decimate massive indigenous rainforest protected areas
and their biodiversity and climate values, in a manner
eerily reminiscent of the capitalistic system against
which he rallies
BRIEF BACKGROUND:
Bolivia's Madidi National Park and Pilón Lajas Biosphere
Reserve are communal
lands containing some of the most
biodiverse areas on earth. With the assent of President
Evo Morales, the oil giant Petrobas and collaborators
have begun an oil exploration assault that threatens not
only these remarkable ecosystems, but also the culture
and livelihood of the resident indigenous peoples. Mr.
Morales must be encouraged to live up to his grand
rhetoric, and end his government's hurried plans to
decimate indigenous protected areas, local sustainable
livelihoods and their rainforest lands' biodiversity and
climate values.
