Bolivia's dying environment - part II

Earlier I mentioned what is going on with Bolivia's lakes. The rest of the nature is not doing much better. The government last year reclassified several natural reserves for oil and gas exploration. One of the areas concerned is the unique Madidi natural park. In total 11 out of a total 22 areas have been reclassified. So again - I believe that it's his belief when the president declares "los países del norte quieren que nosotros seamos sus guardabosques" e.g. the northern countries want us to be their forest guards. Moreover in th latest news (El Diario) we can see the results: "En Bolivia, deforestación llega a 350.000 hectáreas al año". In English: 350000 hectares of forest disappears every year in Bolivia. Not much use to throw money into protecting the forests. Maybe the best solution would be to stop all these useless protection programmes until a connection between the money invested and the results can be made? Perhaps the government would re-think it's approach if the money is simply cut.
