Where do we work?

Protecting the most biodiverse places on the planet.

We focus on whole ecosystem protection and we’ve identified geographic areas we call Mosaics that we are working to protect and manage holistically.

In Bolivia we work in two Mosaics: the Guarani Mosaic, which covers the American Chaco ecosystems, and the Water Corridor Mosaic, which protects ecosystems of Chaco Serrano and Bolivian Tucuman Forest, connecting National Parks with municipal protected areas.

What do we do?

Nature and Culture focuses on five complementary strategic areas to ensure that ecosystems can support current and future generations: Climate, Wild Places, Water, Species, and People.

Governments and local communities in Bolivia that are motivated to protect their ecosystem services face many financial, technical, and legal barriers.  Nature and Culture supports the work of the Nativa Bolivia and Natura Bolivia foundations to overcome these barriers, with the aim of creating and managing municipal protected areas in key biodiverse areas.

Our local partners

Nature and Culture works in collaboration with Natura Bolivia and Nativa Bolivia foundations as well as universities, public and private institutions, communities, and local governments to protect biologically and culturally diverse landscapes. Our partners are fundamental to achieving our conservation objectives. We believe that conservation is only possible when working together with the people who live in the territories we aim to protect.

Our Team in Bolivia

We have field experts specializing in conservation and land management who support communities, organizations, and local and national governments to protect biologically and culturally diverse landscapes.
