Madidi Tambopata
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: 1.2%
At the confluence of the Andes and the Amazon, the Madidi-Tambopata Landscape is a transboundary jewel stretching from the tropical savannas and lowland rainforest to the high Andean peaks on the border between Bolivia and Peru. This 12 million hectare area includes globally important carbon storage forests, one of the largest tracts of intact montane forest in the tropical Andes, and the most biologically diverse protected area in the world: Madidi.
