Year: 2026
Type: book
Abstract: Recommendations for more effective and equitable conservation Key messages• The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework provides an opportunity to integrate principles of full participation, interculturality and environmental justice into conservation decision making.• Bolivia has a robust constitutional and regulatory framework that lays the foundations for rights-based environmental governance, although significant implementation gaps persist due to the weight of extractive sectors, a weak environmental institutional framework and limited resources.• Building effective governance in protected areas requires strengthening management committees, ensuring the early and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and reducing dependence on external funding.• Multistakeholder and multilevel partnerships are essential to strengthen local capacities, close budget gaps, promote socioenvironmental monitoring, and consolidate rights-based participatory territorial management mechanisms.• The recommendations set out in this document seek to serve as the basis for a collectively constructed national roadmap aimed at bridging the gap between policy and practice, and meeting global commitments and national conservation priorities.
