Sustainable Bolivia's Mission & Purpose

Our Mission

Sustainable Bolivia’s mission is to enact sustainable development and environmental conservation in the Bolivian Amazon by supporting and partnering with community-led initiatives.

SB uses a comprehensive approach to environmental conservation poverty alleviation in the Bolivian Amazon. We do this through a three-pronged approach:

1) Community ecotourism initiatives to enable local residents to be stewards of the land and its biodiversity;

2) Conservation, reforestation and resource-management projects;

3) Environmental education and research.

We also place volunteers in mutually rewarding and impactful placements with local NGOs in the nearby city of Riberalta.
