Summary
This project will conserve over 1 million hectares of highly biodiverse forests in Bolivia. It will increase the capacity of indigenous communities to control and protect their forests, strengthen their livelihoods by improving coffee and cacao agroforestry management, and increase avian diversity in and around agroforestry plots. Sustainable cacao and shade coffee production by indigenous communities in Bolivia results in increased protection of collective lands, strengthened livelihoods, reduced forest loss and increased avian biodiversity in agroforestry areas.
