Places We Work

Amboró-Carrasco Conservation Unit
Travel to the crook of the "Andes Elbow" in central Bolivia and you will find the fern capital of the world. Amboró and Carrasco, adjacent national parks measuring more than 1.5 million acres (600,000 hectares) apiece, make up this protected area at the far eastern end of some 7 million acres (2.8 million hectares) of Bolivian yungas.

Noel Kempff Mercado National Park
Named for a pioneer of Bolivia's conservation movement, 3.8 million-acre (1.5 million-acre) Noel Kempff is where the wet Amazon rain forest meets the dry Cerrado grasslands. Seasonally flooded savannas, gallery and humid forests, thorn scrub, rivers, wetlands, mesas, lagoons and black water bays also cover this area that is roughly the size of Massachusetts.

Sama Biological Reserve
Sama is in the heart of the seemingly inhospitable puna, a mountainous region extending from Peru through Bolivia to northern Chile and Argentina. The dry puna merges into the lakes, rivers and forests of the wet Inter-Andean Valley at lower altitudes in the 268,000-acre (108,460-hectare) reserve.

Tariquía Flora and Fauna National Reserve
Tariquía is a 610,000-acre (247,000-hectare) reserve on the Argentine border in a mountainous area of steep elevations, abrupt cliffs and unstable soils with high risk of erosion. It is one of the largest examples of Andean yungas (montane cloud forest) under protection in all of South America.
