Le projet

Located in the northern Antioquia region of Colombia, this project is spearheading efforts to protect several critically endangered plant species, with a key focus on safeguarding the region's endemic Magnolia trees. Preserving fauna as well as flora, the project aims to protect key stone wildlife, including two famed big cats - the puma and the jaguar. As one of the first of it's kind in Colombia, the project brings together a diverse network of stakeholders: working closely with 75 local farmers, 3 private foundations, across 120 land plots. This landscape-level approach results in protecting over 2,500 hectares of ecologically-rich cloud forest.
