Lake Titicaca

7 years ago
Our New Mexico news channel has just posted an article revealing the fact that the lake is not well. Perhaps this is common knowledge in Peru, but I was shocked. Empty paint buckets,trash, dead frogs and high levels of mercury and hypodermic needles. And an indigineous population depending on the lake. Can anyone enlighten me further. It seems from the tone of the piece that the primary culprit is tourism
Is this the case?
