  • Loma Santa marks first Indigenous protected area in the Bolivian Amazon

    The Loma Santa Indigenous Conservation Area in the Bolivian Amazon, established through collaboration between Indigenous communities, NGOs, and the government, showcases self-governance and participatory conservation. Spanning 198,778 hectares, the area is home to a diverse range of bird species, including vulnerable ones like the harpy eagle and gray tinamou. Indigenous communities have set up monitoring posts with advanced technology to prevent illegal activities and monitor regional weather, demonstrating a model of collaboration for conservation efforts. The initiative, led by the Multiethnic Indigenous Territory, highlights the harmonious integration of nature and culture, driven by the active participation of local Indigenous groups and aiming to preserve the land for future generations.
