Bolivia: Indigenous People Confront Global Warming Introduction

Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia, has called for a worldwide meeting of indigenous people about global warming. Morales is an outspoken advocate for indigenous rights and a critic of the results of last December's Copenhagen Climate Conference.

Join me in April when I report from Cochabamba, Bolivia on the alternative indigenous conference. I'll also report on the path-breaking proposal of Rafael Correa Delgado, the president of Ecuador, to refrain from drilling for oil in the Yasuní rain forest if compensated by the world for a portion of the value of the resource left in the ground. Yasuní, which I will visit, has the highest level of biological diversity of anywhere on Earth.
