Friends of Inti Wara Yassi top Divisions within the CIWY Directive This news item has been written by the UK Charity Friends of Inti Wara Yassi, in our capacity as administrators of the CIWY website and a focal point for international fundraising for the CIWY refuges. We are aware of a division between members of the CIWY directive in Bolivia, and a process has been initiated in Bolivia to resolve this situation. Whilst we are still 100% dedicated to supporting the work of CIWY in Bolivia, we are currently holding back any funds received into the charity until the situation has been resolved. The parks are still going ahead as normal, and there is still the same need for support for the development of the parks, and care for the animals. Please be assured that all your donations will still be going to the right place. At the same time, we would like to make clear our support for Tania Baltazar and everyone who works with her in everything that they do for CIWY. We have no doubt of their integrity and dedication to the project.

It is the baby of Juanita, and its healthy and growing fast. Juanita is looking after it well but it needs a name – and that’s where you come in. We are running an eBay auction and the winner will get to name the new baby, the money raised will go toward the relocation and reconstruction costs of a new mirador since the existing mirador has fallen victim to massive landslides and the destabilisation of the surrounding jungle as a direct result of the clearance that was done in preparation for the road last year. The relocation of the mirador is a huge and very urgent project and the funds raised by this auction will be very gratefully received. The parks are very low on volunteer numbers and this means that all the money coming into the park is being spent directly on the daily running costs of the park and there are currently little or no funds available for this project. Please see the Inti Wara Yassi facebook page under the discussion 'mirador updates' for further information about the relocation of the mirador. As always, please dig deep and give generously. If you don’t wish to bid but would like to help out financially donations can also be made directly through the website at www.intiwarayassi.org whatever you can donate will make a difference.

Inti Wara Yassi was incredibly fortunate last week to have a visit from UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall. She was visiting Bolivia as part of a South American tour, where she was giving talks to many different groups of people about her work to help prevent the destruction of our planet. A few years ago, she had named the head of the Inti Wara Yassi animal sanctuaries - Juan Carlos Antezana, pictured above with Jane - as one of her "Heroes of the Planet" in an Animal Planet documentary, but this was the first time she had the chance to meet him in person.
Jane with Nena at Parque Machia Her visit coincided with that of a group of children from a local orphanage. The combination of protecting animals and working with disadvantaged children was something which fitted in perfectly with her Roots and Shoots educational programme, which she is planning on launching in Bolivia. We were all honored to meet her as she is a truly inspirational woman. top Thank you A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to the Jacj Cuisi urgent appeal, I am delighted to announce that not only have we reached the funds needed to secure the land but you have surpassed it. top Park destruction continues in midst of false promises
Yesterday was another sad say for Parque Machia and for conservation in Bolivia. Last week the Bolivian Environment Agency (DGB) made an agreement with the local mayor's office in Villa Tunari, that no more work would be done on the road until a new home was made for the animals in its path. Well yesterday (18th September), the destruction of the park continued in spite of this agreement. Trees fell onto monkey runners in the mirador section of the park, even a volunteer was nearly crushed by a falling tree. We ask that this blatant disregard for the environment AND their own laws be denounced through any means possible, contact your local paper, your national TV station, anyone which could help to cease this carnage. top THE FUTURE OF PARQUE MACHIA AT RISK!!
In early August 2008, we received a visit from public works technicians from the Mayors office in Villa Tunari, with the view to inspecting Parque Machia as a route for a new planned road. Following the visit, we requested further information from the Mayors office about the planned project. Following this request, the 19th of August, we receive an official notification from the Mayor’s office – CITE H.A.M V.T Nº 884-08 – inviting us to a meeting to discuss this project. This meeting was attended by only one of the public works technicians (none of the council officials), where a five minute talk informed us of the definitive decision to open a road through the Park. The main reasons given for the opening of the road were to give more access for the communities further into the forest, and to allow greater access for tourism in vehicles. To determine the opening of this road, many criteria were not considered, such as:
The areas which would be directly affected would be the following
This is why we have concluded that no consideration has been made for the wellbeing of the animals, not to mention the fact that Parque Machia is considered an area of National Heritage, meaning no damage to the biological, genetic and ecological diversity should be allowed. On the 20th August the same year, we received a communication from the Mayor’s office, we were instructed that the animals would need to be moved and accommodated elsewhere, to allow the start of construction. We were visited by members fo the council on the 27th August, consisting of the director of environment, director of tourism, two councillors, an architect, civil engineer and a representative of the company contracted to open the road, who informed us we had 5 days to move and re house the animals. An appeal was made to the local authorities and to the press, and the work was stopped. The Mayor stated to the press that the road would no longer be made. This turned out to be a lie, because this year the work began again to open the road. We appealed again to the environmental and local authorities to explain what this would mean. At this point the National Environment Agency (DGBAP) intervened, but even they did not have the power to stop this destruction. That said, the Mayor of Villa Tunari commited to provide new land for the expanson of the land – although this never took place. Even more shocking was, this year on the 18th August, the work began on opening the road, without any authorization from the authorities or any environmental impact study – a legal requirement. The animals are already being affected by this work. The noise from the tractors and chainsaws are making many of the primates and felines more aggresive, and many of the animals are being scared off, putting their lives in serious danger. WHEN THE LAST TREE IS CUT, WHEN THE LAST RIVER IS CONTAMINATED, WHEN THE LAST ANIMAL IS KILLED ONLY THEN WILL MAN REALISE THAT WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITH MONEY ALONE....!!! top $2,100 raised for Jacj Cuisi Fantastic news - $2,100 has been donated to the Jacj Cuisi Urgent Appeal since it began, from $5 to $500 everyone has been digging deep into their pockets for this fantastic appeal - Thank you to everyone who has donated and to all of Inti Wara Yassi's supporters.

Donations have been coming in from all over the world, which shows how many people have been touched by the plight of Inti Wara Yassi and the devastating effect the road is having on Parque Machia. Join the Facebook group now and make a difference. We still need your help to raise the $10,000 to buy the land at Jacj Cuisi outright and secure Inti Wara Yassi's future. Please donate now. top Follow Inti Wara Yassi on Twitter For the latest news follow us on Twitter top The Jacuizzi Donators Group Inti Wara Yassi is in the process of purchasing 300 hectares (that's 560 football pitches!) of rainforest to be conserved as part of a new park called Jacj Cüisi which means 'Promised Lands'. The new park will be used to relocate some of our existing animals and accommodate the increasing numbers of animals that arrive at CIWY. A group of past volunteers have just started a facebook site to raise money for the remainder of funds for jacj cuisi...unfortunately people are calling it jacuzzi as that is what it kind of sounds like... Join the Jacuzzi Donators Group! The cost of the park is $20'000 US dollars. Inti Wara Yassi managed to find $10'000 USD and has put down a deposit for the land. BUT we still need $10'000 to pay the final balance by the deadline in October 2009! If we don't find the money the dreams and hopes for the new park will be lost.

[Articulo de opinion.com] top House has been bought! Monday 10th March 2008 We're delighted to say that the house (which was campaigned for back in last September) has finally been bought and contracts have exchanged hands. After a long and drawn out process, where negotiations seemed to be never ending, both buyers and sellers came to an agreement, and CIWY's place in Villa Tunari is so much more secure than it has ever been. The ownership of the building which houses the cafe, clinic and vet's accommodation, plus the Casa de Voluntarios, plus land behind where the quarantine areas are, allows the park to make the improvements they have been wanting to for many years but haven't been able to as the buildings weren't theirs. The food preparation area will move to the casa, as will a more organised administration area, both of which were essential improvements to be able to gain the "official eco-park" status from the Bolivian government. Once again, THANK YOU to everyone who has helped! top Un mensaje por parte de Juan Carlos Antezana, Fundador de Inti Wara Yassi
Queridas voluntarias y queridos voluntarios:
Para mi es una alegría tenerlos dentro de los parques trabajando sin
descanso para apoyar a nuestros hermanos los pumas, los jaguares, los monos, los
loros, las boas, las aves.
Dios los bendiga, porque ustedes son los Inti Wara Yassis, mujeres y
hombres de verdad que han logrado,nuestro respeto, porque no estan trabajando
para ustedes sino para la Comunidad Inti Wara Yassi que es la familia de niños,
personas y animales que defendemos toda una vida, con muchos sacrificios hemos
llegado a tener los parques pára los animales y darles una oportunidad a ustedes
de servir.
Mil felicidades por el 2008 y los éxitos mas grandes.
Que se escuche bien fuerte digan la palabra Inti, digan la palabra Wara;
digan la palabra Yassi, por todo el mundo.
top A message from Juan Carlos Antezana, Founder of Inti Wara Yassi
Dear volunteers!
For me it is a great joy to have you working here at the Inti Wara Yassi
refuges. Working non-stop to help our brothers and sisters, the pumas, jaguars,
monkeys, birds and snakes! God bless you, you are the 'Inti Wara Yassis', you
are the people who have gained our highest respect because you are working not
for yourself, but for a whole community of people here in Bolivia, our family
of children, people, animals that all wish to defend life. Although this takes a
lot of sacrifice we have managed together to set up these two refuges to give
the animals a second chance and to give you the opportunity of helping out.
I wish you all the best for 2008! That it may be a year full of success
stories.
Say it aloud to the world: say the word Inti, the word Wara, the word
Yassi!
top Urgent Appeal Update Very happy to let you know that we've raised and sent $34,000 / £17,000 to Bolivia ! ! ! ! ! This should cover the asking price and the legal fees.... The response was absolutely incredible - everyone around the world chipped in and I was getting 3 or 4 big donations every day on PayPal alone - I've no idea what the bank account looked like except that WE'VE MADE IT ! ! ! And that the response of everyone around the world is absolutely incredible - I've never known a fundraising drive like it ! I first posted this to the website only 2.5 weeks ago.....(although it was on facebook etc before this). Obviously we've still got to go through all the legal processes and we can't completely relax until everything's signed, but even though there's still this uncertainty we thought it best to let everyone know how amazing everyone's been. A special mention must be made of the Gibson family and Castle Precision Engineering, who donated an unbelievable $20,000 / £10,000. All the very best to everyone - * * * * you're amazing ! ! ! ! ! ! ! * * * * Chris top Urgent Appeal! consisting of 'the casa' in which many of the Bolivian workers live alongside some temporary volunteers, the volunteer cafe, the veterinary clinic, the monkey quarantine and the small animals area are no longer to be rented to them. The woman who owns the buildings and land now wants to sell it and has given them 2 weeks to find US$30,000 to buy it, or she will sell it to her son who is likely it seems to turn the area into a restaurant. I cannot stress enough how vital this area is to the park and how devastating it would be to loose it, so please if you can spare even a tiny donation, click here to visit the donate page. top US Visa Change From 1 Dec you will need a visa to enter Bolivia: This Warden Message is being issued to notify American citizens traveling to and residing in Bolivia of the new visa requirement for American citizens entering Bolivia as tourists. The Bolivian government announced earlier this month that effective December 1, 2007, U.S. citizens seeking to enter Bolivia as tourists must first obtain an entry visa from a Bolivian diplomatic post nearest their place of residence by submitting an application, and presenting documentation that includes proof of economic solvency, itinerary and lodging, a police record , and yellow fever vaccination. The U.S. Embassy in La Paz, Bolivia has requested clarification regarding this policy and we are awaiting further information from Bolivian officials. Please continue to direct specific inquiries to the Bolivian Embassy in Washington or your nearest Bolivian Consulate (see here for contact information). If you are in Bolivia, please contact Bolivian Immigration Services at 211-0960.

top Message from Nena - news about Sama We are very happy because for long time we had a dream about giving Sama a better life and I want to tell you that thanks to God this dream has come true. Thanks to a person who felt in her heart the need to give a big donation to buy the construction materials, this person is Vanesa, whom we'd like to thank from our heart and we wish God will bless her through her life. We would also like to thank Quest Overseas and specially Tim's group because it was them who did the toughest work carrying the stones and all the materials. Thanks to all the volunteers in Ambue Ari who help with this work next to Quest people. We also did a party in Ambue to collect some money to buy the cement. Before we had built a cage for Sama and then a small enclosed space with the money we had from the donations for him. Now he can enjoy a space that is wider, bigger, prettier and full of trees .
