Bolivia 25 Rising Tide activists (from 3 continents) are currently in Cochabamba, Bolivia, at the 'World Conference on Climate Change and Mother Earth Rights' (19-22 April 2010).

Lots of comments have been made online regarding transport to the conference ... those from RT Ecuador took a 52hour bus journey and the rising tider from the UK travelled to South America by sail boat.

Bolivia 3Here is an extract from today's blog ... "The big news of the morning is that the Forests working group have got a provisional statement that uses the language of REDD, and seems to be supporting this disaster initiative. It has also been discovered that the appointed moderator of the working group is a REDD supporter from the UN. See the Durban statement on REDD in our list of articles to know more, and please encourage groups to sign it as soon as possible".
