Colombia

Country Context

Colombia's rich biodiversity faces threats from deforestation, climate change, and unsustainable practices, particularly in vulnerable ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest.

Our Impact

Forest protection systems monitor 50,000 hectares of biodiverse rainforest using solar-powered technology. These installations have reduced illegal deforestation by 45% through real-time monitoring and rapid response capabilities while creating 300 conservation-related jobs for local communities.

Smallholder farmers benefit from solar-powered processing equipment that increases product value by 35% while reducing environmental impact. The program particularly supports coffee and cocoa producers in accessing premium markets while practicing sustainable cultivation methods that protect local ecosystems.

Eco-tourism development has supported 50 community-based enterprises with solar-powered infrastructure. These businesses have increased local incomes by 40% while promoting conservation values among both residents and visitors, creating sustainable alternatives to extractive industries.
