Description
The creation of the Bajo Madidi Municipal Conservation and Management Area in Ixiamas protects 1,535,495 hectares of savannas, wetlands and tropical forests in northwestern Bolivia. The intervention conserves biodiversity, six rivers that are important to nearby communities and traditional economic practices, while restricting industrial logging and cattle ranching within the area. It was led by the Autonomous Municipal Government of Ixiamas with support from Conservation International-Bolivia and ACEAA, and financial backing from Andes Amazon Fund in partnership with the Wyss Campaign for Nature.
