Mission

Natura Bolivia Foundation is dedicated to conserving rainforests and habitats in Latin America, in a way that contributes to the well-being of local communities. We also work to develop watershed conservation and incentive systems, and evaluate the impact of conservation and development interventions, with a primary focus in Bolivia. We work hand-in-hand with Fundacion Natura Bolivia (www.naturabolivia.org), improving the scope and effectiveness of their interventions, and extend their training programs for watershed and conservation projects around the world.

Programs

2 programs

The Natura Bolivia Foundation helps organizations around the world to implement better and more effective incentive-based conservation programs, through a targeted training and capacity building program. In 2025 we hired a consultant to implement a series of training programs in the use of markets and economics for conservation.

Expenses: $62K

The Natura Bolivia Foundation provides direct support to selected partner organizations to conserve large landscapes as protected areas, working with local governments and communities. In 2025, we provided grant assistance to Fundacion Natura Bolivia as this organization continued its conservation and development programs in Bolivia.
