Tarija

Communities in Bolivia’s Tarija department are now depending on water trucks and impromptu groundwater wells to survive.

Bolivia has sent a group of experts to the southern province of Tarija to investigate after 35 condors were found dead in recent days.

The governor of Tarija, Adrián Herrera, said that farmers and locals lived in harmony with the condors, implying that they would not have poisoned the birds on purpose.

Delina Velasquez is a farmer from the Cercado province in the southern city of Tarija in Bolivia.

TARIJA, Bolivia — So many people were dying that the government’s numbers couldn’t be accurate.
