Rainforest Trust Helps Create 715000 Acre Wildlife Reserve in Bolivia

The American non-governmental organization Rainforest Trust recently aided in establishing a 715,000-acre wildlife reserve in Bolivia, the Good News Network reported. The reserve is located along the Iténez River, a 780-mile-long waterway that scientists consider to be a link of life. [1]

According to the Good News Network, the majority of the Iténez River forms the northeast border between Bolivia and Brazil. The river basin serves as a critical habitat that is home to thousands of different species, including jaguar, Amazon River dolphins, giant otters, lowland tapirs, and black caimans. [1]

The Amazon rainforest covers 6 million square kilometers across the Amazon basin in South America, encompassing territory across nine nations. A non-governmental organization is an entity that operates independently of government control, often focusing on humanitarian, environmental, or social issues. [2][4]

The creation of the reserve contributes to the conservation of Amazonian wildlife along the international border, expanding ongoing global efforts to preserve tropical ecosystems and biodiversity. [1][2]
