Summary
This project aims to build critical evidence to address knowledge gaps on illegal wildlife trade in Bolivia, focusing on the Titicaca Water Frog and including other species. It will investigate market dynamics, consumer behaviour, and sustainable livelihood options through market surveys and research in both rural and urban settings. The findings will inform future demand reduction strategies for the frog, alongside poverty reduction efforts that will aim to provide sustainable alternatives for communities affected by illegal trade around Lake Titicaca.
