Warming temperatures threaten Bolivian glaciers and indigenous communities

The Copenhagen climate change summit ended with mixed results leaving many wondering when – and if – a legally binding treaty will be reached. In response, some countries are continuing with negotiations on their own, and this time with a new emphasis. Bolivian President Evo Morales announced an alternative climate change summit to counter the failures at Copenhagen.  It will take place in Cochabamba, Bolivia in April 2010.  The summit will gather governments and indigenous nations, and will focus on climate justice and the rights of "mother earth." Morales has also said that one goal of the conference would be to work toward an international court on environmental crimes. Bolivia is already experiencing the effects of climate change, especially in the indigenous community of Khapi.  FSRN’s Jessica Aguirre takes us there to see what climate change looks like on the ground.
