Bolivia
Landlocked Bolivia is the world’s 28th-largest country, at 400,000-plus square miles. It’s topography is characterized by western highlands (situated in the Andes), eastern lowlands (including Amazon rainforest) and the world’s largest salt flat in its southwest corner. Despite its wealth of natural resources, Bolivia is one of the poorest and least-developed Latin American countries.
Saving the Forest for the Frogs
Photographer Steffen Reichle, a Nature Conservancy biologist working all over South America, has captured lots of close-ups of reptiles and amphibians.
Bolivian government and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) created the Bolivia Sustainable Forest Management Project, known as BOLFOR in 1993.
Women and Sustainable Forestry Management
Gender is an important part of the context in which we work to create a conservation legacy that lasts.
Around the Americas
The Maya Forest
The Maya Forest is the largest remaining tropical rainforest in the Americas outside of the Amazon.
Atlantic Forest
Although it is just a small fraction of the size of the great Amazon rainforest, the Atlantic Forest still harbors of a range of biological diversity similar to that of the Amazon.
Grasslands and Prairies
Grasslands—which boast rich plant diversity and awe-inspiring wildlife—are under siege. Half of their original range has been lost to development and over-use. But seemingly unlikely partnerships are shining light on a way to save the biodiversity of these regions.
People and Conservation
Protecting nature isn’t about putting up fences around pristine places to keep people out. We’re about protecting the places and resources we depend on for the benefit of all species—plants, animals and people.
