Sustainable Bolivia

Based in Riberalta, Sustainable Bolivia (SB) is a nonprofit working toward sustainable development and conservation in the Bolivian Amazon. We partner with and support community-led initiatives to achieve our mission. Our comprehensive approach encompasses community ecotourism; resource-management, reforestation, and conservation projects; and environmental research and education.

Since the organization’s inception in 2007, Sustainable Bolivia has welcomed more than a thousand volunteers and raised an estimated USD 500,000 to support local projects. We established the Aquicuana Reserve in 2016, carrying out ongoing protection initiatives for more than 20,000 hectares of rainforest. We also support local organizations in nearby Riberalta with micro-grant funding and volunteer placements as well as oversee a language school that provides native Ese Ejja, Cavineño, and Chacobo instruction.
