WWF has been supporting projects in Bolivia since 1970. In 1993 it established an office in Santa Cruz de la Sierra which supports and directs its conservation work in the Pantanal and Amazon Basin. WWF Bolivia has two field offices: in Trinidad (Amazon) and Puerto Quijarro (Pantanal). Currently WWF's program office in Bolivia carries out 3 programs: Pantanal, Southwest Amazon and Forests.

WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature by:
  • Conserving the world's biological diversity
  • Ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable
  • Promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

Promoting responsible forest trade of Bolivian Lesser-Known Timber Species (LKTS)
GOOD WOOD AND FOREST CONSERVATION
Many will find it strange that WWF, the global conservation organization, would promote timber and logging -- particularly in tropical forests. But the fact is that WWF does support forest industries in all parts of the world provided that they practice socially and environmentally responsible forest management. While WWF continues work to protect the most ecologically valuable forests in reserves, we see responsible forestry as a key component of sustainable development that can and should go hand in hand with forest conservation. » Read more
