Lake Poopó completely dried up in December 2015 due to a combination of drought exacerbated by climate change, and mismanagement of resources by the authorities.
From satellite database images, I retrace significant bodies of water disappearing or permanently altered by human activities, thus depicting the Anthropocene Era(se).
Lake Poopo dried up indefinitely, leaving desolation to a rich flora+fauna and one of the oldest indigenous communities in South America, the URU CHIPAYA.
