Protecting the places birds depend on
Asociación Armonía’s programmes connect bird conservation with the protection and restoration of habitats in Bolivia. Its work includes high-Andean forests and support for local conservation areas. The approach follows the needs of particular bird populations, while involving the communities and institutions that can influence what happens to the land they use.
Armonía’s role in Conserva Aves
In Bolivia, Armonía works with FUNDESNAP as a national partner of Conserva Aves. Its stated role includes strengthening recipient organisations’ technical skills through training and reviewing biological and social monitoring protocols. FUNDESNAP handles operation and cofinancing, while the two organisations collaborate on calls, project selection and implementation arrangements.
Several forms of local protection
The initiative supports proposals for regional and municipal protected areas, private reserves and conservation within Indigenous territories. Its priorities include threatened, endemic and declining migratory birds. The programme page describes calls launched in 2023 and a further phase in 2024; selected proposals and planned areas should not be confused with a claim that every protected area is already established.
Restoring high-Andean Polylepis forests
Armonía also works with local communities to protect and restore fragments of Polylepis forest. These habitats support specialised birds such as the species known locally as Torito Pecho Cenizo and Remolinera Real. The programme connects forest protection with regeneration, addressing the needs of birds whose habitat is concentrated in scattered mountain woodland.
Nurseries, monitoring and local knowledge
The Polylepis account describes a collaboration begun with Cotapata National Park in 2014, including work towards a tree nursery and training local rangers to monitor birds. These practical tasks complement the wider protected-area initiative.
