WWF Bolivia contributes to the conservation of two of Bolivia's most important regions!

WWF Bolivia The objective of WWF Bolivia, the conservation organization, is to contribute to the conservation of the Amazon and the Pantanal, promote and generate sustainable economic opportunities for its inhabitants and Bolivia in general.

About WWF

WWF works for a living planet and its mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature by:

• conserving the world’s biological diversity
• ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and
• promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

WWF has been supporting projects in Bolivia since 1970. In 1993 it established an office in Santa Cruz de la Sierra which supports and directs its conservation work in the Pantanal and the Amazon. WWF Bolivia has two field offices: in Trinidad (Amazon) and Puerto Quijarro (Pantanal), and currently we carry out 3 programmes: Pantanal, Amazon and Forest.

AMAZON PROGRAMME

In Bolivia, WWF has been working in the Amazon since 1999. This Biome is one of our priority regions worldwide, at the heart of our collective conservation agenda. WWF Bolivia’s main objective in the Amazon is conserving large blocks of forests, which are representative of the Amazon’s biodiversity, and contributing to the improvement of livelihoods among the local population in the medium to long term.

FOREST PROGRAMME

WWF has been working on forestry issues in Bolivia since 1993, when it began efforts in training and community forest management in the Amazon watershed. Currently we promote the strengthening of capacities for indigenous communities in forest management and their integration in the market through forest-industry links, as well as responsible forestry trade through the creation of a preferential national and international demand for legal wood forthcoming from forests that are well managed.

PANTANAL PROGRAMME

WWF has been working in the region as of 1998, focusing on the sedimentation plain, or the Gran Pantanal, through conservation programmes in both Bolivia and Brazil. The objective of the Pantanal Programme is to maintain the hydro-biological processes that sustain the Upper Paraguay River Basin, and the Pantanal in particular, facilitating sustainable development opportunities and environmental management in the region.

Acerca de WWF

WWF Bolivia

WWF Bolivia, la organización de conservación, tiene el objetivo de contribuir a la conservación de la Amazonia y el Pantanal, promover y generar oportunidades económicas sostenibles para sus habitantes y el país.

WWF trabaja por un planeta vivo y su misión es detener la degradación ambiental de la Tierra y construir un futuro en el que el ser humano viva en armonía con la naturaleza:

• conservando la diversidad biológica mundial
• asegurando que el uso de los recursos naturales renovables sea sostenible y
• promoviendo la reducción de la contaminación y del consumo desmedido.

WWF ha apoyado proyectos en Bolivia desde 1970. En 1993 estableció una oficina en Santa Cruz de la Sierra que apoya y dirige su trabajo de conservación al Pantanal y la Amazonia de Bolivia. WWF Bolivia cuenta con oficinas locales en Trinidad (Amazonia) y Puerto Quijarro (Pantanal). Actualmente, implementa tres programas: Amazonia, Forestal y Pantanal.

PROGRAMA AMAZONIA

En Bolivia, trabajamos desde 1999 en la Amazonia, una de las regiones prioritarias para WWF a nivel mundial, en el corazón de nuestra agenda colectiva de conservación. El objetivo central de las acciones de WWF Bolivia en la Amazonia es conservar grandes bloques de bosque representativos de la biodiversidad amazónica y contribuir al mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida de la población local a mediano y largo plazo.

PROGRAMA FORESTAL

WWF trabaja temas forestales en Bolivia desde 1993, cuando invirtió esfuerzos en capacitación y manejo comunitario de bosques en la cuenca amazónica. Actualmente, promueve el fortalecimiento de capacidades en manejo forestal de comunidades indígenas y su integración al mercado a través de enlaces bosque-industria, así como el comercio forestal responsable, propiciando la creación de una demanda preferencial por madera legal proveniente de bosques bien manejados a nivel nacional e internacional.

PROGRAMA PANTANAL

Desde 1998, WWF trabaja en la región, focalizada en la llanura de sedimentación de la cuenca, es decir el Gran Pantanal, a través de programas de conservación tanto en Bolivia como en Brasil. El Programa tiene el objetivo de mantener los procesos hidro-biológicos que sustentan la parte alta de la cuenca del río Paraguay, y el Pantanal en particular, facilitando oportunidades de desarrollo sostenible y gestión ambiental en la región.
