The Chocó department in Colombia is globally recognized as one of the world's most biologically diverse regions, only second to Ecuador, and home to more than 11,000 species of vascular plants and 900 species of birds. Due to the high tree density and plant biodiversity, the area is a major CO2 sink in the region. Unfortunately, in the last 30 years, the Choco lost more than 40% of its forest cover. In addition, the region is one of the poorest in Colombia, with over 70% of the population living below the poverty line, with women often the most affected. The project aims to restore 350 hectares of forest to sequestrate carbon, while restoring biodiversity, strengthening food security with the inclusion of agroforestry crops, and furthering community economic development by empowering the community to sell agro-crops in local markets. Women will be particularly empowered, because the project will directly work with single-mother headed households, to train them as female entrepreneurs for the green economy activities that will flow from the project. The project is expected to sequester a large amount of CO2, while directly empowering 100 households and contributing to 7 SDGs (no poverty, zero hunger, gender equality, decent work and opportunities, responsible consumption and production, climate action and life on land).
