  • Project description
    This project is part of the USAID's Colombia BIOREDD+ program. This US$ 27.9 million program is designed to strengthen Colombian capacity to mitigate and adapt to climate change, protect biodiversity and support the development of remote, impoverished communities. The development of REDD+ projects is a key element of the Program, and BIOREDD+ is developing a portfolio of 8 REDD+ projects in four geographic nodes covering over 700,000 hectares in the Colombian Pacific. The projects are being developed jointly with local communities who have clear legal title to their land and have themselves agreed to REDD+ project development.
