Unfortunately, retrograde slush and burn practices continue to damage our clean air. Thousands of hectares are lost to uncontrolled fires that delinquents provoke in Santa Cruz.

El Chore is a forestry reserve, the lungs of beautiful Santa Cruz de la Sierra, this reserve is 160 kilometers away from the city; agricultural settlers and campesinos inside the El Chore are the source of this irreparable damage to the environment. It is hard to breathe, your eyes are watery and you suffer headaches, from the time you woke up until you go to bed, day by day, this malicious practice goes unpunished.
