Reforestation of degraded land, Bolivia

About this project

ArBolivia is an initiative of smallholder farmers in Bolivia, reforesting degraded areas of their pasture and farm land with a mix of native tree species since 2007. This upgrade of degraded land enables a sustainable ecological forest management.

This unique project generates several benefits for the local population, biodiversity and global climate. Farmers receive technical advice on site preparation, selection of suitable tree species, planting of trees, and trainings in sustainable management of their newly created forests. Local farmers actively participate in the project and benefit from its revenues. ArBolivia assists them in selling timber jointly produced by establishing community cooperatives.
