The environmental sustainability is one of the main goals of universities that according to their economic, social and cultural resources and singularities are gradually assuming this challenge. In 2008, Bolivian Indigenous universities started their efforts based on the environmental principals of the Aymara, Quechua and Guarani cultures. Through these academic institutions, they expect to conserve, to pass on and to update their knowledge and models of development maintaining the respectful and balanced relation with Nature as a fundamental basis.
