Santa Cruz, Bolivia Elizabeth Sanchelli Biome Project Santa Cruz, Bolivia Elizabeth Sanchelli

The Biome The Biome of Santa Cruz, Bolivia is very tropical, and filled with biodiversity. It has a lot of greenery all around the city, and is known for it’s beautiful waterfalls. There are many different types of exotic plants around the land.

6 Animals: Keystone Species Two keystone species in Santa Cruz include the Giant Otter and the Golden Jaguar. The otters are always floating down the rivers.

6 Animals: Nonnative Species Two nonnative species that live in Santa Cruz include the Red-footed Tortoise and the Green Iguana.

6 Animals: Indicator Species Two indicator species that are in Santa Cruz, Bolivia include the Neotropical Plethodontid Salamander and the Pink River Dolphin.

6 Plants Hippeastrum mandonii- lime green flowers with red tips Sunset Gloxinia- intense, red-orange flowers Tropaeolum tricolor- rare vine with intense colors Cattleya nobilior- pink, tulip-like flower Ichu- coarse brushgrass Tola- tough, wind-resistant shrubs (Hippeastrum mandonii)

Abiotic Factors Weather- usually very sunny, warm days Precipitation- around 100 mm of rain per month Water Availability- 88% of people have access to clean water sources, 27% have good sanitation facilities Climate/Terrain- warm and wet climate, high levels of biodiversity, many hills and valleys covered with luscious green plants

Culture Most of the natives are born to Roman Catholicism. The religions that they worship and praise are female-dominated. Their families are their only social life, and form of structure. The roles they play as families are very traditional (mothers do housework while the fathers make the money). Also, if one is a newcomer to their land, they will treat one will respect, and will be greeted very warmly and welcoming.

Changes over Time Abiotic: Biotic: Water and sanitation coverage has dramatically improved since 1990 because of extreme increase in sectoral investment. Sadly, because of the location of Santa Cruz, it is possible for a harsh climate change to come, which can mess up their biome. These likely, unfortunate events include more forest fires and mosquito-bourne illnesses. Biotic: With Santa Cruz being in the center of Bolivia, population has increased tenfold in the last 25 years.
