Copacabana, Oct 23 (EFE).- Rosa Jalja and Elizabeth Zenteno are two of the dozens of indigenous women from Bolivia and Peru who came together five years to advocate to action to protect Titicaca, the sacred lake that the countries share.

The group comprises around 50 prominent women from indigenous communities on the shores of what is South America's largest lake, covering more than 8,500 sq. km. (3,300 sq. mi.), and the highest navigable lake in the world, sitting at an altitude of 3,000 meters (l0,000 feet). (Camera: YOLANDA SALAZAR).
