Help Restore
Colombia's Cloud Forest
Your donation helps rescue vanishing ecosystems, prevent the loss of biodiversity, and build resilience to fight the impacts of climate change.
Since our project began in 2013, we have made a series of strategic land acquisitions to complete the wildlife corridor. We have secured 4,493 acres to create a continuous expanse of 100,000 hectares.
Our project, in the Western Andes of Colombia, aims to connect and restore forests, protect species from immediate threats, and prevent extinctions. Saving Nature first visited the forest in July 2012, and our work began shortly after. Using satellite imagery, we assessed the scientific value of properties in relation to our broader conservation goals for the Northern Andes. The region was previously restricted due to FARC activity until the Colombia peace accord opened up conservation opportunities a few years ago.
Our aim is to widen the narrow forest corridor, spanning approximately 100 km2 to the east, connecting it to the main Andean chain in the west just south of Jardin Botanic garden’s property. Deforestation in the surrounding valleys threatens to isolate the eastern forest. Collaborating with partners, we acquire restore deforested are with native trees.
