Forest conservation for biodiversity and climate, Bolivia
Locally-led, locally-directed and locally-requested forest conservation
This project supports the conservation of 56,900 acres (23,000 hectares) of old-growth rainforest in Bolivia. One of the main purposes of protection is the conservation of the water reservoir area linked to 13 communities, guaranteeing the provision of water resources for more than 2.5 million inhabitants in the region. At the same time helping to consolidate the conservation of the buffer zone of Amboró National Park, which is a jewel of the planet's biodiversity. In collaboration with Art to Acres, the funds raised will support local communities in conserving the lands on which they have historically lived. Art to Acres is an artist-founded, non-profit environmental initiative that partners with the cultural community for intersectional conversation and large-scale land conservation support. To date, the initiative has supported 32 million acres of new locally-led permanent protected areas and 814,203,000 tonnes of protected underground carbon.

Thank you for supporting land protection! This location is home to the Tapir (Tapirus terrestres), Giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus), Southern three-banded armadillo (Tolypeutes matacus), Jaguar (Panthera onca), and the Pacarana (Dinomys branickii)!
The 2023 declaration of this permanent protected area supported by Frieze will be over 20,000 hectares... we are grateful to the Frieze community!
This project supports the conservation of 21,600 hectares of old-growth forest. It is both watershed conservation and the protection of underground conservation stores... thanks to Frieze Sustainability.
A recent community meeting... This proposed protected area supports the natural conservation of the water reservoir area linked to 13 communities.
What species is this? Say cheese!
Water is essential! The objective of the protected area is the conservation of the Guenda River corridor and Chiquitano forest ecosystem.
This biodiverse landscape is a migration corridor and home to the Mountain tapir, Spectacled Bear, Bush Dog, Mountain Paca and the Stumped Tailed Porcupine. Here is a recent motion-activated photo.
Project update: Community meetings are key to locally-led land protection. Here is a recent one to discuss the conservation of the community watershed.
This tree canopy and forest here is home to a range of species such as the Military Macaw (Ara militaris) and the Jabiru stork (Jabiru mycteria).
Local community members going about their day... sustainable micro-economies are a key part of the buffer areas around the protected landscape.
