Mise en place d'une exploitation de lithium en Bolivie

Bolivia is a country of 1.1 million square kilometres situated in the centre of South America. It counts more than 9,2 million inhabitants living in the mains cities:
- Santa Cruz (1,5 million) the nation commercial and industrial hub
- La Paz (830,000 inhabitants) the highest of the world
- El Alto (860,000 inhabitants)
- Cochabamba (600,000 inhabitants)
- Sucre (250,000 inhabitants)
The administrative centre is La Paz, however Sucre is the constitutional centre. There are three main official languages: the Spanish, the Aymara and the Quechan. Since 1525, when Bolivia was discovered by the Spanish, it belonged to the Spanish Empire. But on 6th August 1825 Bolivia declared its independence thanks to Bolivar's army.

The Bolivian economy involves reorganizations and great direct investment. Unfortunately, in addition of the too small national market, the employment concentrated in low-skill sector, the insufficient of financial intermediation for small companies can't take the Bolivian economy on the growth track. Therefore it has to keep on looking for opportunities to export, set policies promoting and making international trade easier and create new relationship for potential partnership.
Although Bolivia's wealth in natural resources, the widespread rural poverty generates tension on the environment since poor people exploit these resources in an unsustainable way. Thus, we can notice important and serious water pollution, soil erosion and degradation. Once again the GOB can't afford for an affective resource management and communities are driven to play a more and more important role in their responsibilities.
