Illegal gold mining in Bolivia’s rivers continues unhindered – with fatal consequences for both nature and the population. With our project “Strengthening human rights defenders in the fight against illegal gold mining”, we remain committed to providing information in order to show the population the extent of the destruction and to initiate local initiatives.

A few days ago, the premiere of the documentary “Gold Rush in Bolivia” took place in Yanacachi, our home municipality, in the presence of the mayor and numerous members of the community. The documentary shows the severe impact of gold mining in Yanacachi from the perspective of the local people. The film is now available on the Fundación Pueblo YouTube channel and can also be accessed via the QR code on the right.
