Descrição da revisão

Founded in 2007, Sustainable Bolivia (SB) is a 501 (c) 3 international non-profit organization with conservation and sustainable development initiatives in the Bolivian Amazon.


Our Work in the Aquicuana Reserve

In 2016, we helped secure protection for more than 20,000 hectares of rainforest, establishing the Aquicuana Reserve. Inside the Reserve, we partner with local communities and oversee projects focused on community-based ecotourism, conservation and resource management, and environmental education/research.


Our Work in Riberalta

In the nearby city of Riberalta, SB supports local organizations with volunteer placementsand micro-grant funding.  We provide local scholarships and organize internships, art residencies, and research opportunities for international students and professionals.  We also oversee a Spanish and Indigenous Language School providing instruction in the native Chacobo, Cavineño and Ese Ejja languages.

I wanted to be in the Amazon and achieve something meaningful there. After discussing with local biologist and supervisor Vincent Vos, I decided to illustrate a map of the new Aquicuana Municipal Reserve. As of writing this review the map is unfinished, and I doubt I'll ever feel like it will do the ...
I felt safe and supported navigating a new country, culture and language. I had the opportunity to volunteer at a local orphanage in the afternoons, access to spanish classes and staying a duration with a local family. To this day I am still touched by this unforgettable experience in Bolivia. It ...
I came to Riberalta, Bolivia, on 2019. I had a little experience teaching English to children in a daycare but coming here definitely helped me develop those skills. We’ll start the class singing and making a circle together. We’ll play to learn vocabulary related to colors, weather, animals, ...
