Bolivia Physical geography Bolivia is situated in the centre of South America. It encompasses 424,194 square miles and has borders with Brazil to the north and east, with Argentina to the south, and with Peru to the west. On the southeast of Bolivia lies the border with Paraguay, while to the southwest lies that with Chile. Climate Although all of Bolivia is located within the Tropic of Capricorn, the country enjoys the full spectrum of existing climates. The temperature is not only regulated by geographical location, but also by the altitude above sea level; temperatures are lower at higher altitudes and higher at lower altitudes. Due to its proximity to the Equator, the four seasons are not marked with much differentiation in contrast to other continents. The variation of temperatures between winter and summer is less than 10 degrees C. Economic geography Until 1986 the production of minerals such as tin, gold, silver, zinc, lead and others constituted the economic basis of Bolivia. However, the drop in prices in the international markets obligated the state to close important mining companies for the purpose of levelling its balance of payments. Currently, Bolivia's economy thrives on minerals, livestock and agro-industrial riches. Bolivia also has rich petroleum deposits and refineries which meet the country's needs. It uses natural gas to generate energy, which it sells to the Republic of Argentina, and it also has agreements to export energy to Brazil and Chile. In the agricultural sector, due to the distinctive topographic characteristics of the country, there is an extensive range of different products from the tropical regions, the valleys and the high mountains.

Under The Same Sun reflections on a world where the sun never sets Main June 14, 2005 Bolivia: Heard From Something hopeful has been happenning in Bolivia . What is remarkable is not what is happenning, but how. Here's an excerpt from Empire Notes that captures the essence: To understand these events fully requires terms that we were told history had forgotten – much as the indigenous were told history had forgotten them. Here's one: dual power. This is a situation in which popular movements, while not having overthrown a state, have removed the state's monopoly on control. Not only can the popular movements exercise direct political power (rather than merely attempting to influence elected representatives), the state is conversely highly constrained in the exertion of power. This situation has existed in Bolivia for some weeks and continues, at least at the moment. Miners, farm-workers, and coca-growers organized; the indigenous majority of Bolivia, Quechua, Aymara, Chiquitano, and Guarani, mobilized. Making clever use of Bolivia's geography, they paralyzed the country. The neighborhood association of El Alto mobilized to lay siege to La Paz much as the followers of Tupac Katari did over 200 years ago. Gas and oil fields around the country had been seized; and a variously estimated 70 to 120 roadblocks at strategic points had brought road traffic to a standstill. With that leverage, the government had to take these movements very seriously. This incipient revolution has been no tea party. It has involved miners marching with sticks of dynamite and angry verbal battles between political organizations committed to the struggle and people tired of cooking with firewood and dramatically rising food prices. And yet, to the remarkable credit of all Bolivians, only one person has been killed during this evolving drama, killed, of course, by the state security forces.

Contact Us Front Page Environment Unique Bolivia Park Begun by Indigenous People John Roach for National Geographic News January 13, 2004 The parched, southeastern corner of Bolivia is the unlikely home to a park that houses Latin America's highest diversity of large mammals, and is the stage for an unusual story of protected-area creation and operation. "The park remains the only national protected area in the Americas created as the result of an initiative by an indigenous organization," said Michael Painter, Bolivia program director for the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), which has helped manage the park since its creation in 1995. The Kaa-Iya del Gran Chaco National Park is primarily a sparsely populated dry forest scrubland that receives less than 20 inches (500 millimeters) of rain each year and temperatures routinely rise above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). Despite the arid climate, the park serves as a refuge for jaguars (

Margarita Quispe Acho, a self-described witch, is performing a ritual that her grandmother taught her. Through prayer and a burnt offering of llama fetuses, Acho asks Pachamama, a god that many Bolivians call Mother Earth, to bring health, happiness, and especially prosperity. Acho and other witches, medicine women, folk doctors, astrologers, fortunetellers, and sorcerers live and work on the Calle Linares, a cobblestone street in an old quarter of La Paz known for generations as the Mercado de las Brujas, or Witches' Market. The spells are working. "There's been a steady increase in business for ten years," says Acho, the third generation in her family to operate a one-room shop on Calle Linares, La Tienda de Chifleria de Margarita, where she sells hundreds of occult items.

BOLIVIAN GAS PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION by Barbara Pando bp2748a@american.edu Case Number: 409 Case Mnemonic: BOLPIPE Case Name: Bolivia Gas Pipeline I. IDENTIFICATION II. LEGAL CLUSTER III. GEOGRAPHIC CLUSTER IV. TRADE CLUSTER ... VI. OTHER I. IDENTIFICATION The Issue Description The Bolivian gas endeavor began with unilateral trade with Argentina. However, in January of 1996, the Paraguayan and Bolivian presidents signed an agreement proposing a new pipeline and natural gas trading agreement. Plans for constructing another pipeline to Chile have also been in the making, but have been difficult. However, the Brazilian project is by far the most lucrative agreement, and has contributed to a grandiose new scheme taken on by Enron of creating one continental gas grid, with Bolivia as the natural gas hub supplying neighboring countries. To complement this now regional endeavor, Bolivia has recently changed its status in MERCOSUR from that of an associate state to a full membership contract. On February 29, 1997, a new free-trade zone will slowly begin to be built between Bolivia and the MERCOSUR countries, to be completed in eighteen years. This new economic partnership can only help the pipeline project. Currently, Bolivia has 7.2 trillion cubic feet in natural gas reserves, a number expected to rise sharply once unexplored areas are tapped. Estimations for the length and width of the Bolivia- Brazil pipeline are 2,100 miles and 36 inches. The Bolivian government owns 60% of the pipeline within its borders and 20% within Brazil. The consortium of financiers; PETROBRAS (Brazilian Petroleum), the BTB consortium (British Gas, Tenneco Gas, and Australia's BHP Petroleum), and YPFB in conjunction with U.S. partners Enron and Shell, will be financing a project worth roughly US $2 billion. Of these, Enron will be primarily in charge of construction. The company hopes to break ground in the first half of 1997 and to finish by 1999.
