Globally, invasive species represent one of the greatest threats to native biodiversity.

Environmental management in urban and peri-urban areas
In urban and peri-urban areas in Bolivia, human pressure (accelerated urban expansion under a segregative, inequitable, fragmentary and unsustainable environmental development model) and the effects generated by climate change cause the gradual loss of biodiversity, the deterioration of ecosystems and its environmental functions; and, as a whole, the weakening of the benefits that green areas provide to the city.
The informed, committed, organized participation of civil society, and its articulation with public and private actors (public-social governance) is essential to promote the conservation and sustainable management of our green areas and the multiple benefits they provide, such as the common good. they represent: our biocultural heritage.
