IUCN and IMFN: The Chiquitano Model Forest in Bolivia (English)

Chiquitano Model Forest was created in order to practice, share alternative approaches to sustainable development and the participatory management of natural resources in the Chiquitanía region. The diversity of actors, the importance of traditional and cultural practices for livelihoods, the different types of land use and the well conserved state of its natural wealth make the Chiquitano Model Forest a unique region. With this set of characteristics, the Model Forest can share initiatives and create partnerships that facilitate and expand actions towards sustainable development that are in harmony with the conservation of the environmental functions of the forest. Despite the positive state of its natural resources, illegal settlements, the expansion of agricultural activities and unsustainable practices, forest fires, illegal logging, mining and climate change are the main threats to the integrity of the landscape. The Model Forest addresses these challenges by acting as a platform bringing together the different stakeholders in the region. Source: https://imfn.net/regional-networks/ch...
