Public Radio reports on Uros and Lake Titicaca

On June 22, the show "Day to Day" of National Public Radio, featured the story "Tourism a Blessing and Curse for Uros Indians". The audio stream is availble online, and the excerpt mentions that "tourism is having a big impact on the Uros Indians, a tribe of fishermen who live on islands in the middle of Lake Titicaca, high in the Andes Mountains between Bolivia and Peru. The indigenous people are finding the increased tourism to their unique, man-made islands both a curse and a blessing". The segment's producer is Reese Erlich.
