The document discusses the debate around building a road through the TIPNIS nature reserve in Bolivia. While two sections of the road had already been constructed, the section between Villa Tunari and San Ignacio de Moxos would pass through the TIPNIS. In 2011, indigenous groups from the TIPNIS protested the project, marching from Trinidad to La Paz. In September, police violently interfered with the protest march, detaining many women, children and elders, leading to widespread protests across Bolivia. Indigenous groups then took the foreign minister and vice minister hostage to force them to break through the police blockade.
