  1. #SouthAmerica’s First Continental #WildlifeCorridor

    By: Tompkins Conservation, October 9, 2025

    "The #JaguarRiversInitiative is the first multi-country effort to create a massive wildlife corridor in the heart of South America. Uniting successful grassroots nonprofits in #Argentina, #Bolivia, #Brazil, and #Paraguay, the initiative will restore #ecosystems, bring back #KeySpecies, and develop #NatureBasedEconomies in a new cross-border model that addresses the mass #ExtinctionCrisis and climate instability on a global scale.

    "In a groundbreaking announcement during #ClimateWeek in September [2025], an alliance of grassroots South American nonprofits launched South America’s largest continental-scale rewilding endeavor. The Jaguar Rivers Initiative plans to reconnect #FragmentedEcosystems across the vast #ParanáBasin using #RiverCorridors as the connective tissue. 'We all know the urgency of the #biodiversity and climate crises,' said Kristine Tompkins of Tompkins Conservation. 'This bold initiative underlines the need for coordinated, large-scale action before it’s too late. I’d call it a lifeline to our planet.'

    "South America is in the midst of an unparalleled ecological crisis. #Wildlife populations across the region have declined by 94 percent since 1970—the steepest drop in the world. The drivers of this collapse—#deforestation, river degradation, #fragmentation, fire, and #overexploitation—are intensifying in the face of #ClimateChange.

    "The Jaguar Rivers Initiative will restore, protect, and connect #ecosystems throughout the heart of South America, covering nearly one million square miles, an area almost twice the size of Alaska. According to Deli Saavedra, the director of the initiative, 'We’re undertaking a very strategic act to safeguard one of the largest river systems in the world. By restoring its ecological integrity, diverse species and communities currently under threat in four countries have the opportunity to thrive, using a model of nature restoration combined with regenerative economies that has been tested and proven successful in places like the #BrazilianPantanal and the #IberáWetlands of #Argentina.'

    The initiative will be centered around four pillars:

    • Arks: Large intact ecosystems with keystone species, restored and rewilded to become sources of wildlife dispersal.

    #BufferAreas: Surrounding zones where restorative economies promote coexistence and extend protection.

    • Stepping Stones: Smaller wildlife refuges along corridors, often private reserves, that enable safe dispersal and reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

    #Rivers and #Floodplains: Vital corridors for connectivity, requiring healthy ecological flows; safeguarded through citizen guardianship, monitoring, and strong policies."

  3. RE: mastodon.social/@laizquierdadi

    #WTF 😡 This Monday, the Humanitarian Mission had arrived at El Alto Airport to investigate reports of human rights violations committed during the crackdown and arrests that took place during the protests in Bolivia. Right-wing President Rodrigo Paz prevented them from entering the country, deporting them under false pretenses.

  5. "Bolivian police arrested native peasant leader Vicente Salazar on June 6 during a repressed march in La Paz as social movements demanded the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz."
    "The mobilization represents a unified front of rural and urban workers opposing state violence. Activists emphasize that the detention of Salazar will only strengthen their determination, so they plan to reinforce road blockades and assemblies in the coming hours."

  7. Bolívia, entre a rebeldia e a falta de perspectivas

    Já são 40 dias de bloqueio no país. Apesar dos sinais de desgaste, povo não recua, mesmo sem ver saídas claras. Governo pretende aplicar nova lei de estado de exceção, o que pode reacender os protestos. A única certeza neste impasse: presidente perdeu sua legitimidade

  10. Neighborhood associations hold a massive public meeting today in #Bolivia
    Among the population’s main demands are the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz; the release of detained leaders; the repeal of bills such as the so-called Anti-Blockade Law; and the rejection of privatization initiatives the gov. is seeking to implement.

  11. Lo que Rodrigo Paz no puede cambiar. Memorias constituyentes en Bolivia

    Hay procesos políticos que no terminan cuando cambia un gobierno. Permanecen debajo de la superficie y reaparecen cada vez que una sociedad vuelve a discutir quién tiene derecho a nombrar el país. Eso ocurre hoy en Bolivia. Mientras sectores políticos intentan reorganizar el escenario posterior al desgaste del MAS —entre ellos el espacio encabezado por Rodrigo Paz Pereira— continúa actuando algo que excede la coyuntura electoral: la memoria abierta por la Asamblea Constituyente iniciada en 2006 bajo el liderazgo de Evo Morales. El libro El nacimiento del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia, de Schavelzon (2012), ayuda a comprender justamente eso. La Constituyente no fue solamente una reforma institucional ni una discusión jurídica. Fue el momento en que un pueblo sintió que podía volver a discutir qué era Bolivia y quiénes podían ocupar el centro de la vida política. […]

  12. Via anticapitalista

    This is what Bolivia's highways look like at the moment.

    Each town & village blocks their stretch, and the union members in each community take turns at the barricades. This is part of the general strike against neoliberalism. Now entering week 3.

  14. “It’s About People Feeding Their Families”: #Indigenous-Led #AntiAusterity Protests Rock #Bolivia

    #DemocracyNow, May 29, 2026

    "Protests in Bolivia are demanding the resignation of #RodrigoPaz, the country’s first #RightWing president in decades. Since #Paz took office in November 2025, the country has been placed under austerity measures that have led to a surge in poverty rates for much of Bolivia’s rural and working-class population. We speak to Kathryn Ledebur, director of the #AndeanInformationNetwork in #CochabambaBolivia, about the monthlong protests. 'Bolivia is a country where, for 19 years, #IndigenousPeople and social movements enjoyed equal rights and political inclusion,' she explains. 'There’s a huge break between what Paz promised and what he’s done in practice, which is select a white, upper-middle-class Cabinet with only two women, reject any genuine dialogue, reject interaction with the Bolivian social movements, or even have any empathy for people and what they’re going through day to day.'

    "Ledebur also discusses the Paz administration’s growing ties with the Trump administration as the U.S. seeks to expand its so-called war on drugs throughout Latin America."
