Irpavi 2 South Route

The city of La Paz, Bolivia, has the Puma Katari public transportation service, which covers the 9 macro districts and is currently deployed through 10 routes. Since its launch, this service has been a great promise, offering benefits such as preferential treatment for people with disabilities, children and the elderly, in addition to allowing the transport of bicycles in the front compartments of the buses, thus encouraging the use of this means of transportation. ecological. We are often traveling to different places in the city to carry out our field work. We know that some visitors or even people who know about this transportation service face difficulties because they do not know which route to take or where the stops are, especially when trying to reach peripheral areas.

Senda Verde is a refuge dedicated to the rehabilitation and protection of wildlife in the Amazon rainforest of Bolivia. Unlike a conventional tourist destination, its main mission is to provide care and rehabilitation to rescued animals, many of which have been victims of illegal wildlife trafficking, mistreatment in captivity, or have been affected by the burning of their habitats. Although it welcomes visitors to support its operations, educate, and raise awareness about conservation, Senda Verde primarily focuses on animal welfare and promoting responsible wildlife practices.

Illegal wildlife trafficking consists of the illicit commercialization of wild species that are stolen from their natural habitats. In Bolivia, alarming cases of illegal wildlife trafficking have begun to occupy a prominent place on the media agenda.
