=w= Bolivia is very beautiful country in the South America. There is some charts that show the data of Bolivia
= =

= = ==== This graph is about the language in Bolivia. It shows the percentage of the people who speaks different languages. Form the graph we can see most of people in Bolivia speak Spanish, but there is also a large percentage for other languages. That Quechua, Aymara, foreign language and some other languages. For Spanish near 60.6% people speak that, and 21.18% for Quechua, 14.59% for Aymara and 2.4% for foreign language. 2% of people speak some other languages. ====

why Quechua and Aymara are also popular in Bolivia?
==== This graph shows the changeing of the population that is below poverty line. In the graph clearly shows how does the population below poverty line decrease in Bolivia. In 1999 the population that is below poverty is 70%, and It can let us know that time Bolivia is a very poor country in 1999. later than 1999 the population below poverty line start decrease. In 2004, it became 64%, in 2006 it became 60%, and when it is 2011 it became 30%. It decreased 40%. As we can see the Bolivia economic is getting better. ====

Does the population below poverty line in 1999 is the highest time or there are some years that the population is bigger than 70%?
This is the graph shows the population growth in Bolivia. In this graph, it shows the population from 2002 to 2010. The shape of the graph is like steps. It grows nearly 0.2 million of people for each year. In the graph we can see the population grew 2 million (25%) from 2002 to 2010. In 2002, there is nearly 8.8 million people in Bolivia, and it becames to be 10. 4 million of people in 2010. It shows how fast the population grew. If the population grew too fast. it will cause lots of problems. And it is also bad to the environment. I think the govenment shoulds do something to decrease the birth rate.

what time does the population start growth like that?

environment the clearing of land for agricultural purposes and the international demand for tropical timber are contributing to deforestation; soil erosion from overgrazing and poor cultivation methods (including slash-and-burn agriculture); desertification; loss of biodiversity; industrial pollution of water supplies used for drinking and irrigation （https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/bl.html） The chief environmental problem in the densely populated Altiplano is soil erosion, resulting from poor cultivation methods (including slash-and-burn agriculture) and overgrazing. Erosion currently affects 30% of the land in Bolivia. Salinity and alkalinization are also a significant problem. Inadequate sanitation and solid-waste disposal, as well as effluents from mining activities, contribute to the Altiplano's declining water quality, which poses a threat both to fish life and to human health.
