In 2010, CorporaciĆ³n Minera de Bolivia began works on a gold mine in a riverbed of Coroico River. In January 2010, the movement of the river channel caused by backhoes machines flooded some parts of La Senda Verde. In the aftermath, Ossio said that the damage to the animal shelter had been tremendous.[3]
