Armonia: red-fronted macaw, local communities and environment
The Red-fronted macaw (Ara rubrogenys) is a critically endangered species, mainly threatened by the destruction of dry forests, human-animal conflicts (destruction of maize crops by macaws), poaching and illegal trade to supply the pet market. Armonia's mission is to preserve Bolivia's birds and their natural habitat, while seeking a better cohabitation of these animals with the local human population. The problem of habitat loss has been partially resolved by the creation of the Paraba Frente Roja Reserve. Located among and administered by the communities of San Carlos, Perereta and Amaya, with the support of Armonia. The reserve covers 50 hectares (124 acres). The spectacular sheer cliff that dominates this landscape is the main breeding site for the species.

Potential conservation benefits in saving biodiversity
Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
Absolute value (STAR)
0.8% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of Bolivia (Plurinational State of) is covered by this project.
2.5% of The Americas's biodiversity conservation potential is from Bolivia (Plurinational State of).
45.4% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from The Americas.
The chart below represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
