The government intends to discuss only the road construction, the 2nd segment that will either cross of go around the TIPNIS. The government negotiation team will not address any of the other 16 points that the TIPNIS has, like: stop the hydrocarbons’ prospection; illegal logging; carbon offset bonds; stop road construction in general.

The indigenous group sent a letter to current Bolivian president to ask for a meeting in the Beni Biological station, near San Borja municipality.
