The project focus on sustainably conserving three community forests in the municipality of San Rafael in the southern part of the province of San Ignacio de Velasco in the department of Santa Cruz in eastern Bolivia through popular anchored forest protection and management while strengthening a civilian organization around the management and protection of the municipality governed forest area Reserva Natural de San Rafael (RNSR) with representation from both the indigenous and rural communities and local authorities.
