A TREE stands alone on land now ready for planting soya seeds, near Santa Cruz, Bolivia . It is a symbol of the country’s growing deforestation crisis.These are among the striking images by photographer Matjaž Krivic, working with Maja Prijatelj Videmšek, a journalist for the Slovenian newspaperproject shows how Bolivia’s tropical forests are being destroyed at a rate surpassed only by Brazil and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. From 1976 to 2021, Bolivia lost 14 per cent of its forests.
Some 80 per cent of cattle are for domestic consumption; the rest are exported. By 2025, the state plans to double herds to 22 million animals and to triple cultivated land to 13 million hectares.This is fuelled by domestic and foreign companies, settlers from the mountainous regions, and the Mennonites – ultra-conservative Christians who arrived in the 1950s. The tractor driver is a Mennonite minister at Santa Anita colony, eastern Bolivia.
