Since 2012, demand from Asia has introduced a trade in jaguar teeth, claws, whiskers, and other parts. Bolivia is one of the hotspots for the illegal trade in jaguar parts in South America. Recent seizures have included packages of teeth and skulls destined for China. To counter the illegal trade in jaguar parts, this two-year grant will support: a review and assessment of current law enforcement protocols in Bolivia and Suriname; standardization of law enforcement reporting procedures; surveys of groups to identify motivations for jaguar poaching and trade routes; three trainings in Bolivia and one training in Suriname on identification of illegally hunted animals and their parts; development and distribution of a cat identification manual to police departments and customs officials in both countries; radio and newspaper advertisements and stories about the illegality of poaching jaguars and the trafficking their parts; five workshops in local communities on the conservation value of jaguars and the illegality of the parts trade; and a jaguar monitoring system in Suriname to detect changes in populations due to poaching.

Monitoring and Research at Barba Azul has shown that Buff-breasted Sandpipers prefer short-grass with the presence of a large ungulate (cattle). As a seventh phase, Armonia proposes to develop the following priority actions from the USFWS Conservation Plan for the Buff-breasted Sandpiper: Protection through the Armona titleholder creation and habitat protection of an additional 1,740 hectares as an officially recognized reserve to be purchased in 2022, Maintenance of 7,000 hectares of tropical savanna habitat; and law enforcement of Barba Azul. Barba Azul is the only site within Bolivia with a long-term shorebird monitoring program (8 years) where they will research and monitor Buff-breasted Sandpiper populations. Armonia continues the management and development of 1,500 hectares of grassland with experiments since 2019 on best-practices ranching techniques and ideal stocking rates as an educational model eco-friendly ranching system, which will also offer sustainability support. The development of a physical model ranch with actual experience will be a very powerful educational tool for ranch owners.

However, the biodiversity and ecological services the forests provide to local communities is fast disappearing. Over 85% of the original forest cover has been cleared over the last 30 years, and while the remaining forests in Bolivia still provide watershed services to the Chaco communities, these areas face increasing pressure from forest degradation linked to unsustainable resource use, illegal hunting and settlements. This project will implement a conservation plan for a newly created 664,498 acre natural protected area in southern Bolivia by initiating a management structure for the indigenousrun municipality and implementing on-the-ground conservation activities. Specific activities include: working with the indigenous Guarani communities who control the area to create a management structure/institution; holding participative workshops with local communities to create a management plan to establish usage rules and zoning for the protected area; creating a sustainable development program to maintain support for the protected area among local communities; and identifying options for a sustainable financing mechanism to maintain conservation management.
