Around 30% and 50% of the drinking water in the rivres of our main cities is lost. In the country, there are only 84 wastewater treatment plants, 31 are not operational and the rest barely remove 50% of their impurities. About 26,000 liters of water are needed to produce the food consumed daily by a single family of four.

70% of Bolivia's soil is used at some intensity. 40% of the territory is forest, 12% is agricultural and 25% is used for cattle raising. Bolivia is the first country in agricultural areas per capita in Latin America, while it is the last in agricultural productivity. The indiscriminate use of agrochemicals in the soil, the inadequate use of agricultural machinery and the growing desertification cause soil loss with negative impacts on water and plant cover.

40,000 hectares of soils are losing their productive capacity annually due to different causes. One third of the country is eroded. Twice as much is deforested as 20 years ago and the same amount of products and food is produced. It is the first country in the world in per capita deforestation of tropical forests. We deforest the equivalent of a soccer field every five minutes.

In Bolivia, in the 50´s the urban population was 27%, today it is almost 70%. Half of the Bolivian population is concentrated in the cities of La Paz, El Alto, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba.

Every day 5,000 tons of garbage are generated, 84% of which comes from urban areas. Uncollected garbage goes into waterways and soils, severely contaminating them.
