WWF has been supporting projects in Bolivia since 1970. In 1993 it established an office in Santa Cruz de la Sierra which supports and directs its conservation work in the Pantanal and Amazon Basin. WWF Bolivia has two field offices: in Trinidad (Amazon) and Puerto Quijarro (Pantanal). Currently WWF's program office in Bolivia carries out 3 programs: Pantanal, Southwest Amazon and Forests.

WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature by:
  • Conserving the world's biological diversity
  • Ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable
  • Promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.
