The conservation of the Colombian natural and cultural heritage through scientific research with social involvement and through sustainable productive projects that contribute to conservation, to social development and to self sustainability of local communities.
Our vision is to grow as a self-sustainable organisation that develops projects and research in multiple areas of Colombia, generating positive, growing and long-lasting social and environmental impacts.
Since 2005, Fundacion Biodiversa Colombia has been promoting and developing research and conservation in the biological, social and cultural fields and in other areas of knowledge that contribute to preservation of the biological and cultural heritage of Colombia, while seeking alternatives for sustainable development.
Fundacion Biodiversa Colombia became partners with World Land Trust in 2018 following a site visit to Colombia, and their attendance at World Land Trust’s 2018 partner symposium.
World Land Trust contributed for the first expansion of the El Silencio Natural Reserve, in the rainforests of the Middle Magdalena Valley in Colombia, from 85 to 582 ha.
Afterwards, World Land Trust supported FBC for the second expansion of El Silencio, nowadays nearly 3400 ha protecting highly important rainforests and wetlands of this unique ecosystem and its endangered species.
Nowadays, WLT continues to support FBC with management costs for the operation of the Reserve.
