Bolivia Indigenous Forest Policy Project

In 2001-2002 the Clinic worked with the Forest Management Trust to address legal and policy issues associated with the transformation of the Bolivian forest sector to a model based on decentralized maangement and indigenous governance. Latin American Studies Graduate student and Ecuadoran attorney Byron Real devoted his clinic project and Master's thesis research to the confluence of the Bolivian government's internationally recognized indigenous tenure, administrative decentralization and state democratization reforms and their implementation in the forest sector through indigenous and traditional communities. Working under a grant to the Forest Management Trust from the Handler Family Foundation Real traveled to Bolivia for field work and presented the results of his research at a USAID sponsored forestry forum in Bolivia.
