Forest conservation is a multi-strategy for mitigating climate change, counteracting the global biodiversity crisis and fighting poverty as thousands of families depend on forest resources, its ecosystem services and to sustain a favorable microclimate. However, to succeed in conserving and protecting forests strong alliances are crucial in a Bolivian context, where the political climate is not favorable for local NGOs working for nature conservation. The intervention aims at “strengthening collaboration between Bolivian nature conservation organizations within science and monitoring as a basis for joint advocacy and preparation of national, regional, and local management plans in addition to building partner capacities within resource mobilizations.” It is a first initial step towards building a strong nature conservation alliance in Bolivia based on project collaboration, campaigning, and knowledge sharing.
