The Amazon's indigena peoples obviously believe in results from long protest marches.
They have begun their second march of 500km/ 300 miles...to protest a new road thru their homeland...the Amazon's Tipnis national park.
In 2011...their first long march succeeded in getting President Evo Morales to cancel the road project...but he later reneged...and instead backed a vote on the project.
