Land Use Decision-Making in the Bolivian Amazon: The Case of Ranchers
(deadline extended to 4/2/26)
Associate Professor Nicole Ardoin, Doerr - Environmental Social Sciences
This research employs a case study approach in Eastern Bolivia to better understand the social-ecological factors (e.g., climate change, land succession, migration, globalization) that are impacting–and possibly restructuring–patterns of land use and land control in the Amazon Basin. Through semi-structured interviews with ranchers and the development of a regional survey, this project aims to better understand how this understudied and diverse group of actors is making decisions about natural resource management and the implications of these decisions for the social-ecological future of the region.
