A total of 2,476 illegal miners have been evicted from the La Paragua forest reserve, in Bolívar state, by the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), according to the strategic operational commander of the FANB, G/J Domingo Hernández Lárez.

Through a message published in his X account, he explained that these natural areas are protected by our legal system, so these actions seek to guarantee constitutional rights, the territorial legal order and security and defense plans.

In addition, the senior military official called on indigenous populations not to join these predatory environmental activities and, on the contrary, urged them to protect their spaces and pachamama.

“All citizens must actively protect our environment, habitats and ecosystems, remembering that “extinction” is forever and that the human race must be preserved and should not be carried away by the neoliberal culture that clouds and blinds in favor of capital,” said Hernández Lárez.
