Naturaleza, Tierra y Vida (NATIVA)
Bolivia, Latin America
2003
Naturaleza, Tierra y Vida (NATIVA) is a Bolivian non profit that works to protect biodiversity across three of South America's most important ecological regions—the Chaco, Chiquitania, and Pantanal.
They pair science with strong community roots, collaborating with Indigenous communities, local governments, and civil society to safeguard endangered species, support sustainable livelihoods, and maintain ecological connectivity at a landscape scale.
Bolivia's most important ecosystems are under accelerating pressure. Large-scale deforestation, recurrent megafires, climate-induced drought, and illegal settlements are fragmenting habitat and degrading land and water at an alarming pace. Limited institutional capacity and scarce funding leave conservation groups stretched thin—right when rural communities and wildlife need them most.
NATIVA works at landscape scale, combining satellite monitoring, legal defense of territories, and community-based action. They run wildfire detection and response programs, support environmental governance, build water-resilience infrastructure, and drive policy dialogue, ensuring conservation benefits both nature and the people living alongside it.
International support keeps NATIVA's monitoring systems running, strengthens rapid wildfire response, and powers community-led conservation on the frontlines. Your donation directly protects endangered species, preserves vital ecosystems, and backs the Indigenous and rural communities leading this work.
