About the project

This Project aims to restore 5000+ha of tropical humid forest on the Santa Teresita del Tuparro Reservation on Cumarribo municipality, in the Vichada department of Colombia to restore ecosystem services and biodiversity. This restoration will also act as a barrier against the advance of the agricultural frontier that threatens the Colombian Amazon, but also it will reconnect the small patches of remaining forest within these lands with the Mataven Jungle. The Project will comprise a mosaic of indigenous community owned farmland, focusing on areas surrounding small patches of forest within this indigenous landscape. The exact locations of the project sites will be identified in the early stages of project development by Ecoinversion Forestal and local indigenous communities will make decisions pertaining to the inclusion of specific areas. The proposed area will include land that has previously been cleared for cattle ranching (by non-indigenous people, with the majority being cleared in the 1960s), forest fires and illegal mining that provide clear routes to reestablish structural connectivity of habitats. Patches of forest will be identified to connect with each other to form a corridor that connects to the Mataven Jungle, a transition zone between the great forests of the Amazon and the extensive savannahs of the Oriniquia. The aim is to transform the matrix of cleared areas into permeable zones for biodiversity, in order to reduce the effect of isolated fragments of natural habitat. The final project area will also include working in the remaining land of the participating communities to help them improve their family garden, known as conucos, in order to strengthen their food security and access to natural resources to strengthen their traditional livelihoods. The full extent of this area will not be known until all participants have been identified.
