Bolivia: Indigenous people march again against road through national park

Hundreds of indigenous Bolivians have started a second long march against the construction of a road through Tipnis National Park. Last year a similar march led to the cancellation of the project but after other communities has been in favour of the road Evo Morales has backtracked and are now saying that all communities in the area will vote on the road plan. The protesters plan to march 500 km from Trinidad in the Amazon to La Paz in the Andes. They hope to attract more supporters as they go.
