Indigenous territories threatened in Bolivia

We addressed a letter to the President and to the Forest Department (Superintendencia Forestal) of Bolivia, inquiring about the concession of indigenous territories situated in the Western Region to logging companies. This action not only is suspected to be illegal and anti-constitutional but also threatens the livelihood and cultures of forest peoples of Bolivia. We urged that these territories are given back to their legitimate owners.
