Bolivia: Women fight to preserve indigenous Knowledge & Medicines

Indigenous leaders say this knowledge represents an invaluable source of scientific data.
But this knowledge is at risk of being lost forever.

i admire these indigenous peoples for fighting to preserve, conserve and protect their ways of life. while in my country, IPs are selling their ancestral domains to the big guns to remove themselves from "poverty".
