Model Forests Around the World: Bolivia
The Chiquitano Model Forest in Bolivia is a multi-cultural, multi-ecosystem landscape that encourages and develops alternative approaches to participatory, sustainable management of natural resources.
Joining the IMFN in 2005, the Model Forest’s ecosystems are under pressure from illegal settlements, the expansion of agricultural activities, unsustainable practices, forest fires, illegal logging, mining, and climate change. Despite these threats, the ecosystems in the Model Forest maintain ecological integrity and functionality, providing ecosystem services and sustainable use opportunities like water filtration and ecotourism. By acting as a platform for different stakeholders to collaborate, the Model Forest encourages sustainable development in harmony with environmental conservation.
