Dinamica EGO applications at FAN-Bolivia
1. DINAMICA EGO APPLICATIONS AT FAN-BOLIVIA
E.Armijo1, May 2011
The Fundación Amigos de la Naturaleza (Friends of Nature Foundation, FAN) is a private nonprofit organization
(
dedicated since 1988 to the conservation of biodiversity in Bolivia. FAN’s actions are guided by scientific bases,
technical feasibility, social participation and administrative transparency.
As part of its climate change and conservation planning projects, there has been a need at FAN to use tools
that provide a better understanding of landscape past dynamics and future trajectories. Since 2009, the
Dinamica EGO environment has been applied at FAN to model land use processes in the Amazonian basin of
Bolivia and Southeast Cameroon.
In Bolivia, Dinamica EGO has supported the development of baseline scenarios for a pilot sub-national REDD
of sub
program in Northern Beni and Southern Pando departments (states), in the heart of the Bolivian Amazon. At
this time, the modeling exercise has been completed with a “business as usual” projection of deforestation.

In 2010, in the context of an initial phase for a national REDD program of Cameroon (Central Africa), FAN was
invited to provide technical training on baseline development. Dinamica EGO was the tool selected for the land
use simulation workshop, held in the city of Yaoundé, in French, and to carry out a preliminary modeling of
, Yaoundé
forest dynamics in the East Province.
