Protecting Bolivia's forest watersheds with sustainable finance

Reported byBirdLife International ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Asociación Armonía has planted 1.25 million trees in Tunari National Park, Bolivia, and is now developing a Payment for Ecosystem Services mechanism to secure long-term financing for watershed protection serving over 1 million people in the Cochabamba region.

Worth noting

The PES mechanism is proposed and still taking shape; implementation and effectiveness will depend on securing committed funding.
