Last update: an hour agoIndigenous Land Fight in Bolivia: After a 27-day march to La Paz, Indigenous and rural organizations from Pando and Beni forced the repeal of Bolivia’s Law 1720, which would have shifted communal land into individually held medium properties—opening the door, protesters say, to dispossession via “rural credit.” They demanded legal certainty, an end to anti-protest rules, and prior consultation, and staged a 10-day sit-in outside the Vice President’s office as the government moved to amend the bill. Venice Biennale Fallout: In the art world, protests and geopolitical shocks—including Russia’s return after Ukraine and escalating tensions tied to Gaza, Iran, and other pavilion disputes—have turned the Venice Biennale into a flashpoint. Bolivia Conservation Watch: The week’s Bolivia-focused conservation items were thinner than usual, but they still point to the same pressure points: land control, water access, and the fight to be consulted before extractive decisions move forward.
