We started the construction of the boardwalk in the lodging of La Urbana Matavén, Matavén Fruit Sector, Zone 3. As part of our “Activity 6: Productive Projects” we started the Ecotourism Project in July 2021, in 4 Matavén communities: Laguna Negra, Laguna Cacao Zone 4; La Urbana, Barranco Colorado Zone 3. We work in alliance with the Colombian foundation “Cuidar la Tierra” to protect Matavén natural resources, create new economic opportunities, and improve their indigenous communities quality of life.
REDD+ Matavén is an environmental & social project tackling climate change and multi-dimensions of poverty. We stop deforestation, we protect tropical forests in the Indigenous Reservation of the Matavén Forest (Vichada, Colombia), while safeguarding its biodiversity and improving their indigenous people quality of life.
