  2. "Bolivia is a very large country with tremendous resources, but it's essentially an under-populated and under-skilled country. The vast majority of the population doesn't yet have the skills needed to develop the country on a sustained basis. Right now, development is very skewed. Landlocked Bolivia sits astride the Andes in the west-central part of the South American continent. With an area of 1,098,581 square kilometers, the country is about the size of Texas and California combined, or twice the size of Spain. Bolivia has 6,083 kilometers of land boundaries, which adjoin five countries.

  3. the Andes define the country's three geographic zones:the mountains and Altiplano in the west, the semitropical Yungas and temperate valleys of the eastern mountain slopes, and the tropical lowlands or plains (llanos) of the eastern lowlands, or Oriente. However, in the altiplano and highland valleys, where subsistence farming is by far the most common activity, depletion of available resources occurs at an alarming rate. This is due to a number of different factors including erosion by wind and water, overuse of crop and pasture lands, slash and burn farming techniques, and a loss of biodiversity as populations spread to cover more land. Income generation, health, and food security in these regions are dependant upon the quality of existing natural resources. Improper use of these resources and constant depletion is causing a progressive destruction of the natural environment.

  4. UNIVERSIDAD MAYOR DE SAN SIMÓN UMSS is the biggest second university of Bolivia. Founded in 1832, inside the System of Public Universities of Bolivia, located in Cochabamba, which is the third party the biggest city of Bolivia, placed in a valley to 2,570 m/snm and placed among the mountains and the low tropical lands. UMSS teach the majority of the academic fields to level of pre degree and also it(he,she) has a school of postdegree. It is shaped by 9 faculties and 3 university schools, where the ESFOR is a part of this one. At this time we have on more than 47,000 students that they are present at more than 80 educational offers offered in UMSS of which, near 50 they correspond(fit) to careers of pregrado to level of top technician and licentiate and fence to 20 they are in the level of masterado and one is starting penetrating into doctorate.

  6.  ESFOR A forestry engineer education was established in 2000 at UMSS under the Faculty of Agriculture, where the forestry school (Escuela de Ciencias Forestales (ESFOR)) has educated forestry technicians since 1980, until recently with the assistance of GTZ. At present, the annual intake of students on each of the educations for forestry engineer and forest technician is around 50. Emerging needs for professional foresters lead in 2000 to the formation of an education of forest engineers and later in 2001 also a postgraduate education. The latter offers diploma and specialization courses with short duration in sustainable management of tropical forests with direct relations to the forestry sector.  ESFOR has a considerable and well-maintained infrastructure in the form of office space, classrooms, laboratories, vehicles, etc.

  7.  ESFOR It also has a well-educated and well-organised human resource base including 6 full-time teachers and a number of part-time teachers. Its major field facilities are at Valle Sajta where 6,000 ha and physical facilities provide the basis for conducting field research and training of students. ESFOR is situated at the nothern boundary of Cochabamba.  One of the ESFOR main objetives are to promote technology transfer and conservation practices that allow farmers to effectively increase productivity and incomes, while protecting land and water resources for future generations with increse the activities of research.
