5:07 pm
but there are lots of people who wanted to fail who are part of the business. and there were congress because they make the laws. but the inside of the ones who do not expect from the government has also the task of protecting people activity is as columbia is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for environmental activities. 100 have been killed in the last decade. columbia as far as have also been a victim of the war and the violence that plague this country's history many hope this time, the political when will be enough to revert the damage that has already been done very so i'll just see to what you had in columbia and the bolivian amazon indigenous women are drawing on sexual knowledge and traditions to harmless. the heating prophecies of variance plants indigenous they to say this knowledge represents an invaluable source of scientific thought to that's manual or apollo report, some grail blanco in central bolivia. this knowledge is at risk of being lost
