We don't need a highway
For us, it not good
We don't need the highway
There shouldn't be the highway
It wasn't consulted with the landowners
Without consultation of the indigenous communities
It's not fair because many rights were violated
The President is making a big mistake
It cannot destroy our environment
There shouldn't be a highway
It's worrisome because the government wants to impose the highway without consultation
They should have first talked with my brothers from the indigenous territory Isiboro Sécure Park

Community of San Miguelito, May 16-20, 2010
That is why I feel strengthened, now more than ever

Moxeño-Yuracaré, Moxeño-Chimán that searched for their sacred lands
.... that the Isiboro-Securé National Park with executed titles

and at the time of the delivery, commanded that
to assume the defense the territory through all means and in front of all instances
we resolve 1.) completely reject and non-negotiably the construction of the road Villa Tunari - San Ignacio de Moxos
in all of the tracts that affect our territory, our large home.
The Right to Life means the Right to exist.
The Right that no ecosystem, no animal or plant species
no river or lake should be eliminated
or exterminated because of the actions of human beings.
