Conservation International Bolivia (Conservación Internacional Bolivia, CI-Bolivia) is the country programme of Conservation International in Bolivia. The programme is based in La Paz.
CI Bolivia has been involved in protected-area initiatives and conservation finance in the Bolivian Amazon, including the first debt-for-nature swap (1987). More recently, it has supported municipal protected areas in northern Bolivia such as the Área Municipal de Conservación y Manejo del Bajo Madidi in Ixiamas and the Área Natural de Manejo Integrado El Gran Manupare in El Sena, Pando Department. In 2025, it supported additional municipal protected-area initiatives in La Paz Department and Pando departments, including the Parque Municipal y Área Natural de Manejo Integrado Gran Paitití de Mapiri and the Bosques para Siempre project in Pando. Peer-reviewed studies of land-use change in Bolivia have acknowledged Conservation International Bolivia for data contributions, and CI Bolivia-affiliated researchers have co-authored work on deforestation-related carbon emissions.
