Bolivia Country Analysis of Tropical Forests and Biological Diversity
Significant constraints are currently hindering further progress toward sustainably managing and conserving Bolivia’s biodiversity and tropical forests. These threats include: · A land and forest policy framework that provides strong incentives for deforestation and weak incentives for sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, and forest fire prevention; · Forestry institutions that are financially insolvent and lack technical capacity; · Insufficient silvicultural and forest product research to support strengthening of the sector; · A poorly developed wood products industry; and · Inadequate valuation of forest environmental services and use of non-timber forest products (NTFPs). USAID/Bolivia intends that its 2004–2009 Strategic Plan will assist the Government of Bolivia (GOB) to address these constraints effectively. LAC - 118/119 Report - Bolivia Report submitted to the United States Agency for International Development USAID/Bolivia’s Country Strategy 2004-2009 under USAID Contract No. LAG-I-00-99-00013-00, Biodiversity and Sustainable Forestry (BioFor) IQC, Task Order No. 810 Prepared in 2002.
