Protesting the highway


"An indigenous person participates in a protest against the construction of the Villa Tunari - San Ignacio de Moxos highway, in La Paz September 26, 2011. The 185-mile (298-km) long highway will bisect a protected park in the Isiboro Secure Territory, known by its Spanish acronym TIPNIS, in the Amazon forest. The protest was also held against the riot policemen for breaking up a month-long protest by indigenous people in Yucumo." (Reuters/Gaston Brito, via BoingBoing)
