457:, face significant air pollution issues. These cities are home to nearly 50% of Bolivia's population and have grown rapidly since the 1950's. This swift expansion has led to an increase in the number of motor vehicles and industries (brick production, oil refineries, metal foundries, etc.) within these urban areas, making them the primary contributors to air pollution. Vehicular emissions contribute up to 35% to the particles in the air in these high altitude cities. Another major contributor to air pollution is the burning of agricultural and household waste. In some parts of these cities, the concentration of air particles smaller than 10 micrometers is 2.5 times higher than the Latin American and Caribbean average and comparable to heavily polluted South American cities such as 68: 487: 86:(TIPNIS) which is a designated state park. Concerns about the impact of illegal logging on deforestation were so serious that in 2011 Bolivian protestors were able to halt the construction of a highway that would have increased access to the TIPNIS territory. Bolivia's highway network remains underdeveloped, restricting access to specific forested areas. However, as the country progresses, expanded road construction might not only lead to deforestation but also enhance access for illegal loggers to these forested regions. 537:, leading to the establishment of numerous protected areas in its lowland regions. These areas were created to conserve biodiversity and mitigate deforestation. Later in 2006, further reforms to land tenure and forestry management were introduced, aiming to better integrate indigenous communities through community-based forest management. However, these reforms faced challenges due to inadequate follow-up and enforcement, resulting in a weakened forestry regime. 2029: 371:, engaging in illicit logging, and other practices that further exacerbate habitat loss. A lack of historical road access in Bolivia has aided biodiversity conservation more than active conservation efforts, but the increased rate of development in the country has highlighted a need for more focused conservation policies in the face of growing biodiversity degradation. 550:"community lands of origin" for indigenous lands and initiated a land formalization program, supported by international donors and the state. This initiative resulted in an increase in indigenous lands, collectively-owned community lands, and public lands, contributing to the broader efforts of environmental conservation and sustainable land management in Bolivia. 411:(GIS) have been proven to have a positive impact on waste management in countries such as India and Uganda.

Colonization schemes have also contributed to deforestation in Bolivia. Since the 1960's, the Bolivian lowlands have seen large scale colonization by rural nationals from the Andean region as well as America and Japan. This has largely been encouraged by the Bolivian government. Inexpensive land and

Due to mostly cattle ranching, mechanized cultivation and small-scale agriculture, Bolivia lost approximately 200,000 hectares of rainforest per year between 2006 and 2010. Demand for Bolivian agricultural products has risen in part due to the integration of Bolivian agriculture into international

From 2010 to 2016, however, no Protected Area Downgrading, Downsizing, and Degazettement (PADDD) events were reported in Bolivia. However, in 2017, the highway project across TIPNIS led to a downgrade in the area's protected status. Throughout this period, the law also established the category of

In 1996, the Bolivian forestry law mandated management plans, harvest limits, and inventory documentation for forestry concessions. The law aimed to regulate the use of forest resources, promote sustainable forestry practices, and grant user rights to citizens on public and private lands. The law

In Bolivia's eastern and Amazonian lowland areas, air quality remains high throughout the year, except during the four-month dry season when these regions are prone to fires. Fires have increased in these regions during the past few decades due to the expansion of agricultural activities.

Rapid low-density expansion of Bolivia's urban areas likely results in water pollution, as a result of insufficient sanitation coverage paired with a lack of wastewater treatment. The use of unregulated septic tanks likely exacerbates the problem.

Beyond urban areas, indoor air pollution affects almost 80% of the rural population. This issue stems from the extensive reliance on firewood and solid fuels for cooking within economically disadvantaged rural communities.
