At Agroflori, we conserve a wide diversity of plants that sustain ecosystems and make wildlife possible.
Essential plants for Andean ecosystems and local biodiversity.
Kewiña (Polylepis spp.)
Regulates water, protects soils, and hosts endemic fauna. One of the most threatened forests in the Andes.
Tree Ferns
Ancient and slow-growing species, now vulnerable due to ornamental extraction.
Bromeliads
Retain water and serve as shelter for insects, amphibians, and birds.
Asclepias (Milkweed)
A key plant for the survival of the monarch butterfly.
Caring for native flora is protecting wildlife.
Species from other ecosystems that enrich the educational experience.
Succulents
Store up to 95% water, adapted to dry climates.
Cactus
Example of extreme adaptation to water scarcity.
Lotus Flower
Aquatic plant known for its resilience and natural balance.
Exotic species require responsible management so as not to affect native ecosystems.
In 2024, Bolivia lost nearly 1.8 million hectares of primary forest, ranking among the countries with the highest deforestation rates worldwide. The main cause was forest fires, followed by illegal land clearing and the unregulated expansion of agricultural activities.
Practices such as using wood for fuel, burning pastures, and overgrazing prevent forests from regenerating and endanger native species like the kewiña, a fundamental tree of high Andean forests. Its loss affects many birds and small animals that depend on it to survive.
The disappearance of these forests also reduces water availability, increases soil erosion, and makes communities more vulnerable to droughts and landslides.
In Bolivia, the Environmental Law No. 1333 sanctions illegal logging and damage to protected species with prison sentences and financial fines, reinforcing the importance of protecting our forests and their biodiversity.
Concrete actions you can take today
Opt for digital alternatives and reuse materials whenever possible.
Participate in initiatives with native species and support community ecological restoration projects.
Especially from vulnerable species like cedar and oak. Opt for products with forest certification.
Its extraction contributes directly to the degradation of high Andean forests.
Such as wild ferns or orchids. Their complete extraction prevents natural regeneration.
