Yes, and no. In Bolivia, it is happening too, in the interstices of some
complicated interests/actors. One key player is USAID, which has invested
millions in enviro. studies, and now wants to see a "park" (with Guarani
peopel's in control) put together as justification for the monies spent
(your tax dollars!). Right thing to do; wrong reasons, but what the hell?
