History
The Partido Verde de Bolivia was founded on 9 August 2007, after a few years of work in that direction. The newly formed party joined the Global Greens in 2008, attending the alliance's Second World Congress that year in São Paulo, Brazil.{{cite web|url=http://www.globalgreens.org/parties |title=Historia Partido Verde de Bolivia - IEP |website=www.partidoverdebolivia.org |publisher=Green Party of Bolivia |access-date=15 October 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141020090008/http://www.globalgreens.org/parties |archive-date=20 October 2014 }}
