The ArBolivia Project provides multiple opportunities for individuals and organisations to contribute towards solutions to climate change and poverty

The Project

The main cause of deforestation in the Bolivian Amazon is poverty.  This forces poor farmers to fell prime rainforest to survive.  The ArBolivia Project provides a real alternative by offering a true partnership between social investors from the developed world  and poor subsistence  farmer and their families in Bolivia. By committing to pay our farmers to plant and maintain their trees, the society removes any “market risk” associated with any “carbon market”, in line with Bolivian law.

The project offers  certification of its broader SDG impacts  that are achieved as a result of the work carried out for our sponsors  under either the Gold Standard or the Plan Vivo  Standard, as part of its holistic Forest and Land Use interventions.
