Bajo Calima tropical forest protection

Measurable voluntary contribution

Tages Capital has chosen to voluntarily invest in this climate project, with the aim of generating a positive and measurable environmental impact.

The last investment made by Tages Capital was in November 2022.

Context

This project is located in the collective territories of Bajo Calima and La Plata-Bahia Malaga in the Pacific coastal municipality of Buenaventura, in the Department of Valle de Cauca. These forests belong to the biologically diverse Choco-Darien bioregion, providing ecosystem services that are important on a national and international level. The project is designed to mitigate climate change by protecting native vegetation, reducing deforestation and allowing degraded forests to recuperate. Amongst these objectives, the project also contributes to long-term biodiversity conservation through improvement of extent and connectivity of natural forests and aims at strengthening the livelihood capitals of local communities.

Stakeholders and local partners

Who are the key stakeholders?

Objectives and approach

Preserving biodiversity in the Choco’ - Darien bioregion and avoiding deforestation

Colombia has been declared as megadiverse, for containing an estimate of 70% of global biodiversity according to the UNEP - World Conservation Monitoring Center. An important objective of the project is to increase knowledge about local diversity in the region. Rather than a species to species approach, the project focuses on reducing threats at the level of broader forest ecosystem integrity.

The land in the project areas belongs to communities of African descent on the Pacific coast. The majority of the population lives below the defined poverty line, therefore the funding of this project will improve local livelihoods and diversify their economy in order to avoid further deforestation.
