Now abandoned fishing boats, burning salt, rust, fishing nets and bird feathers. Even Bolivia's waterways high in the Andes could not escape pollution. A Bolivian lake that was once beautiful thriving with wildlife has become a waterless basin full of plastic waste. Lake Uru Uru was beautiful as well and was known for its large flamingo population. The lakes water has been discolored brown, black cadmium, zinc, and arsenic from a nearby mine. Lake Uru Uru is covered in plastic bottles and all manmade garbage. The Piles of trash come from the city of Oruro near the river where residents dump waste and also local mine companies leaks. The river nearby is without water therefore, so garbage keeps piling up with nowhere to go. coastal areas are dynamic environments changing fast with different topographies climate and organisms affected by Techtonics (Garcia YouTube slides 0:56) Indeed global warming is a big concern right now in Bolivia. On the border between Peru and Bolivia Lake Titicaca is suffering from drought. Rain deficiencies and the impact of deforestation in the Amazon is creating Lake Titicaca to recede. 3 million people depend on Lake Titicaca.

Mitigation Factors

To end deforestation Boliva has signed a Glasglow leader's declaration on forests and land use to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030. The government has allocated 17 million to tackle current drought and its implementing over 800 water sanitation and irrigation projects. An emergency program now provides large-volume water tanks (300 1,300 gallons)

 to many affected municipalities.

In Bolivia, only 8% of landfills are controlled and recycling does not exceed 4% of total urban waste. Therefore, From September 2019, 

COOPI has activated the project "La PazRecicla. Intergrated approach to waste management in the municipality of La Paz Bolivia.
