A new study reported by Mongabay suggests the answer is yes. “We have data, we have numbers, we have concrete evidence that it happens, even on private land,” said Ludmila Pugliese de Siqueira, a biologist a Conservation International. “Restoration is already reality and it happens in a Brazilian way — with creativity, partnership and persistence.”
This month, Bolivia granted legal protection to four critical protected areas, strengthening a national conservation network that stretches from the Andes to the Amazon. The newly designated areas were shaped by local leadership, with Conservation International-Bolivia helping guide the designation process alongside communities and government partners.
As Revista Nómadas reports, they also play a strategic role in Bolivia’s broader conservation mosaic — linking national parks, migratory corridors and watersheds that sustain wildlife and people.
