In a country with a little over eight million inhabitants, the recovery and construction of the railway corridor is key for the economic development and social integration of the region, through respect for the biodiversity.
The Ineco-Cobodes consortium has developed a strategic environmental assessment study for the Central Bioceanic Railway Corridor, a project undertaken by the government of Bolivia and funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which will connect the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
The works include the identification and evaluation of the strategic environmental and social impacts throughout the whole CFBC’s path in Bolivia. The study aims to safeguard the vast natural heritage in the region, which consists of a multitude of natural areas with high biodiversity; and improve the quality of life of Bolivian people
