The Bolivian Amazon in the Nature Reserves of the departments of Madidi and de Pilon Lajas, near the Peruvian frontier (one hours flight south east from La Paz the capital).
Why is it our responsibility to Conserve the Amazon in South America? What are the stakes for the climate for the conservation of the biggest forest on the earth? The rain forests and pampas (Amazonian savannas) are threatened. During the last twenty years an area equivalent to France has been destroyed. And it isn’t going to stop. The destruction of the natural places in the 21st century will be all the bigger.
The presentation will be accompanied by a slide show.
The mediatech will put in display documents on the Amazon its riches and its threats.
The presenter:Erik Jongejean has worked in South America in the Caribbean since 2002 and has on many occasions visited Bolivia, Peru, Surinam, Equator, French Guyana, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, and Columbia as a biologist and a tourist, with students and professors.
