Beni Biological Station and Biosphere Reserve (Reserva de Biosfera y Estación Biológica del Beni) is a protected area in Bolivia located in the Beni Department, in the José Ballivián Province and Yacuma Province. Early financing for management activities in the reserve was linked to the 1987 debt-for-nature swap arranged with Conservation International Bolivia.[2][3]
