Lake Poopo was officially declared evaporated last month.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have lost their livelihoods and

High on Bolivia's semi-arid Andean plains at 3700 metres
(more than 12,000 feet) and long subject to climatic whims, the shallow
saline lake has essentially dried up before only to rebound to twice the
area of Los Angeles.
