Social Change for Conservation – Colombia
Country – Colombia

Colombia possesses a wealth of natural resources such as tropical forests, rare plants and exquisite wildlife. Building on more than 10 years of experience, WWF and its team of specialists have embarked on an ambitious programme that will enable local communities to maintain important ecosystems, while improving their own wellbeing.

This programme will reach more than 100,000 local people, and is promoting the creation of six new protected areas including forests, rivers and wetlands. It has supported the development of low-impact whale watching and aims to achieve 70 per cent protection of nesting beaches for two species of Pacific sea turtle.

In addition, we are supporting skills development to enable local organisations, communities and governments to resolve a range of environmental and conservation problems.
