Bolivia the South American country, has raised its voice. After 13 years, 9 months and 18 days in power, Evo Morales, president of that country, resigned and requested political asylum in Mexico, which was granted.
Morales was a president who transformed his country's economy: there was growth, reduction of poverty and illiteracy. However, his reasons for resigning from office were a civic, political and police blow.
This decision was made after the commander of the Bolivian Armed Forces, General Williams Kaliman, emerged that Evo should take a step back to unblock the political crisis.
After his resignation, Evo requested political Chile Mobile Number List asylum in Mexico where the current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, received him with enthusiasm.
However, he left many pending issues unresolved in his country, including environmental problems in his territories.
Does Evo Morales leave environmental debts in Bolivia?
For several months, many Bolivian indigenous leaders have denounced different environmental problems in their territories. This has prompted various analyzes of the periods in which Evo Morales was at the head of government management, which has been done from different perspectives.
One of them has focused on the environmental policy that Morales has applied in his 14 years of government.
The research "A crucial year for conservation policy in Bolivia ", published in the scientific journal Nature Ecology and Evolution , evaluates the three periods of Evo Morales' government, from an environmental perspective.
In the evaluation, the study mentions Bolivia's leadership in environmental issues, especially for its legal recognition of the rights of nature and its decisive participation in the formulation of international commitments such as the Paris Agreement.
However, according to the study, the government has approved activities harmful to the environment that threaten the network of protected areas and the indigenous territories of Bolivia.
Alfredo Romero, principal investigator of the study and member of the Department of Geography at the University of Humboldt, in Berlin, Germany; ensures that positive policies are declarative and are not actually implemented.
There are 13 years of contradictory policies. It seems that things are going well at first, but then regulations are approved that go against the environment.

"Bolivia currently has the second highest proportion of protected areas under intense human pressure in all of South America, despite having one of the lowest population densities."
The contradictions presented from 2006 to 2018 have been demonstrated: where measures have been implemented that represent progress for nature conservation, and those that represent a setback for them have also been made known.
Among the crises are environmental problems in indigenous territories, since it is in this community where the leaders of said sector have been denouncing and confronting the government for months to demand a solution.
Several indigenous groups have denounced that Evo Morales has spoken internationally about the rights of nature, indigenous peoples and the importance of nature; while in the country he himself approved activities that harm the environment and that also threatened the network of protected areas and indigenous territories.
In April 2018, the government approved three hydrocarbon exploration and extraction contracts within the National Reserve of Flora and Fauna of Tariquía despite the opposition of the communities that inhabit the area.
Tariquia is an important area in terms of water, the entire region is almost a water factory and those who have felt most harmed, with the opening of the reserve, have been peasant communities.
Just like Tariquí, communities and experts assure that all protected areas in Bolivia are threatened since a supreme decree in 2015 opened the doors to hydrocarbon activities within the reserves.
Faced with these situations, Evo Morales is leaving a large debt to his citizens, which is why several of them are upset and did not want to accept Evo's resignation. However, despite this, Evo is in Mexico evading the situation and letting everything be resolved at the hands of the newly declared President of Bolivia.
