Current government continues to put pressure against the 9th protest-walk in defense of the TIPNIS, this cartoon is from El Dia, May 10, 2012:
Title “how it costs to defend nature…”
As you see the TIPNIS’ defenders uphill struggle (literally) while the police is restraining them; right behind them the coca growers with their relentless push for more land to plant and profit from their illegal crop.

“DIRTY WAR” AGAINST THE MARCH

Hermo, President of the civic Committee, seized a cargo that belong to the humanitarian aid of the Indigenous Pastoral Committee, which was deposited at the home of Reynaldo Muiba, who lives in San Miguelito, by the Isiboro River and expected to be moved by Rubén Yuco to its destination. They (those of the said Committee), led the cargo to the headquarters of the Eterasama Trade Union Confederation, until that investigate (say), where it is, for who is and who finances such cargo. They said that they are not allowed to let anything pass into the TIPNIS.

I thank Humberto Vacaflor for this news, it is inconceivable to see how quickly current government’s politics and actions have turned against people who supported them to get into power. The so-claimed defenders of mother nature certainly seem to have lost their soul…

Bolivia people viva! we need to wake up he’s nothing without the people support. we took him to power and still you can demote him from power since power belongs to the people, we must protect our nature at all cost that is what we were taught by our late mother prof. wangari mathai a nobelist for environment. she shed her blood defending the nature from our president that is former excellency daniel moi.
we can never see our nature being destroyed while we are watching rise up and boycott or do something to create awareness about it.
