Madidi National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (PNANMI Madidi) was created in 1995 by Supreme Decree N\u00b0 24123, with an area of 1,895,750 ha. It is made up of three management zones: the northwestern and southeastern zones are under the National Park category, and the central zone is under the Natural Area of Integrated Management category.<\/p>\n

Madidi is one of the most important protected areas in Bolivia and the world because of its extraordinary biological richness, which is expressed in its diversity of ecosystems and flora and fauna species. It contains 13 major vegetation types, including the best example of pristine savannas and the largest and best-preserved montane forests in Bolivia.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Identidad Madidi, it is the best-known protected area in Bolivia, with 5,535 species of plants, 1,633 species and subspecies of butterflies, and 1,830 species of vertebrates confirmed within Madidi so far. Its importance for Bolivia is crucial because it is home to 40% of the country's plants, 41% of the butterflies and 50% of the vertebrates including 71% of Bolivia's birds and almost 10% of the world's birds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Madidi's cultural value is equally relevant. Archeological sites of pre-Inca and Inca origin within the protected area and its zone of influence testify to the historical and cultural roots of the people who inhabited this region. Madidi is part of the ancestral territory of the Tacana and Leco peoples. The founding of the Franciscan missionary towns and the arrival of Quechua-speaking groups shaped a new social, cultural and economic reality. The communities currently settled in Madidi are heirs to these cultural traditions and have maintained their governance systems and knowledge of natural resource use.<\/p>\n

The cultural importance of Madidi park is increased by the fact that it overlaps with four indigenous territories: San Jos\u00e9 de Uchupiamonas, Tacana I, Lecos de Apolo and Lecos de Larecaja. Their territorial management experiences contribute to the conservation of biological diversity and generate economic opportunities for the region.<\/p>\n

Madidi is one of the most important tourist destinations in Bolivia, benefiting community and municipal initiatives in the region. Experiences in the use of wildlife are producing important results within the framework of territorial management, such as spectacled caiman management, incense and wild cacao harvest, beekeeping, and coffee and native cacao production under agroforestry systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
