BOLIVIA, AN UPCOMING BATTLEFIELD OF SUPERPOWERS
Bolivia is a country in central South America, with a varied terrain spanning Andes Mountains, the Atacama Desert and Amazon Basin rainforest. At more than 3,500m, its administrative capital, La Paz, sits on the Andes’ Altiplano plateau with snow-capped Mt. Illimani in the background. Nearby is glass-smooth Lake Titicaca, the continent’s largest lake, straddling the border with Peru.
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Poverty, which restricts the exercise of human rights, affects population groups in different ways, according to gender and ethnic origin. Poverty and inequity also give citizenship a limited and precarious status.
But Bolivia has at least a quarter of the world's lithium, including the single largest deposit in the Salar de Uyuni, a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. It is in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosà in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft) above sea level.
