When the Madidi National Park was formed in 1995, many Tacana communities were outraged by the invasion of the Bolivian government in their lands. It seemed that the formation of the park was a step forward for conservation, but a step backwards for its inhabitants. San Miguel was one of the communities whose hunting and ancient agricultural traditions were endangered by the formation of Madidi. Many towns fought the idea of ​​a protected area, and extractive activities such as logging, hunting and logging and burning agriculture continued.
