Boats of fishermen are seen on the dried Poopo lakebed in the Oruro Department, south of La Paz, Bolivia. Lake Poopo in Bolivia, the Andean nation's formerly second largest after the famed Titicaca, has dried up entirely. With the water now gone, animals have died off in the millions, according to studies. And the local families, having lost much of their sustenance, have been forced to migrate.
