Vichada Climate Reforestation

Nestled in the remote Vichada Department of the Orinoco River basin, the Vichada Climate Reforestation Project has evolved from a timber-centric initiative to a robust conservation effort emphasizing biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration. Serving as a guardian for the region‘s unique flora and fauna, it actively mitigates greenhouse gases, catalyzing positive socio-economic changes. Employment and technology transfer programs, along with other strategic initiatives, contribute to the development of local communities while delivering environmental benefits.

Expanding from its original focus on savannah reforestation, the project now spans 73,835 hectares, preserving native vegetation along riverbanks and watersheds. This comprehensive strategy reduces soil erosion and improves water quality, leading to a transformative impact in the region. Consequently, local communities thrive with elevated living standards, significantly furthering Colombia‘s developmental objectives.
