Bolivian national parks

Bolivia has spectacular natural scenery and astounding biodiversity, both of which are protected in its national parks, monuments, sanctuaries and biosphere reserves.

The country's natural resources are protected by the National Service of Protected Areas (SERNAP), a federal government agency that manages 22 protected areas, 13 of which are designated as national parks and 3 more that are designated as integrated natural areas and 6 that are designated as biosphere reserves.

Bolivia designates six areas as biosphere reserves. Three of these are also designated as UNESCO Biosphere Reserves:

• -15-67.21 Pilón-Lajas Biosphere Reserve — preserves an area of Yungas wilderness and protects lands of at least three indigenous cultures
• -14.993-68.822 Ulla-Ulla Biosphere Reserve — (managed as the Apolobamba Integrated Management Natural Area) area of Andean wetlands that is home to condors, alpacas, vicuñas and indigenous communities
• -14.38-66.183 Beni Biological Station Biosphere Reserve — protects a region of mixed rain forest, savannah, and woodlands on the edge of the Amazon basin
