Abstract
The protected areas of Bolivia cover 10.2% of its territory, but only 60% of this surface is considered to be of conservation value. Protect ed areas are unevenly distributed over the eight phytogeographic regio ns of Bolivia. The Pantanal is not represented in any conservation uni t. Inventories and basic information are usually lacking as plant surv eys have been carried out mostly outside protected areas.
