According to Derrick Hindery, "the law clearly reflects both the more environmentally progressive ideals pushed by the Unity Pact and the extractivist agenda of the Morales administration."{{Cite book| publisher = University of Arizona Press| isbn = 978-0-8165-0237-0| last = Hindery| first = Derrick| title = From Enron to Evo: Pipeline Politics, Global Environmentalism, and Indigenous Rights in Bolivia| location = Tucson| date = 2013-06-06 | page = 217 }}
