The future of the biggest wetland of the Amazon: Llanos de Moxos at a crossroads
The Llanos de Moxos in Beni, Bolivia, is the biggest wetland complex of the Amazon basin. It has a long history of human occupation marked by deep ecological knowledge, colonization, and resistance. Llanos de Moxos is at a crossroads in terms of development pathways. While a new land use plan for Beni opens the door for massive land use change towards mechanized agriculture, efforts are underway to promote a sustainable development agenda that revitalize its biocultural capital.
