The Hindu : Sci Tech : Over 40 per cent of Bolivia desertifiedOver 40 per cent of the Bolivian territory is affected by desertification caused by climate change, population increase and indiscriminate forest felling, the Science and Technology Ministry said recently.
The ministry said in a statement that the problem is becoming more serious each year, which puts at risk the food security of the country.
“The desertification in Bolivia affects 41 percent of the national territory, 439,432 square km, where 77 per cent of the national inhabitants live, some 6.4 million people,” the ministry said.
As much as 89 percent of Bolivians living in the affected territory are in extreme poverty.
Yowza... to think that, not too long ago, they had a revolution against globalists that apparently made the collecting of rain water illegal. Anybody else see "The Corporation"?
