World Wide Efforts

Worldwide efforts to protect the Tropical Andes include:

1. CITES: Many species that reside in the Tropical Andes are included in the CITES list of species that cannot be hunted or traded.
2. WWF: The Spectacled Bear and many plant species are protected by the World Wildlife Fund.
3. Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide (ELAW): Collaborates with Sociedad Boliviana de Derecho Ambiental to protect the Bolivian Tropical Andes and, in turn, protects the biodiversity.
