Description
ORINOCO2, is part of the biodiversity, carbon and water conservation strategies implemented by the Cataruben Foundation. The project aims to reduce emissions from deforestation, forest degradation and land use change in the savanna ecosystem in the plains of the departments of Meta and Vichada, in Colombia. The project aims to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 6, 13 and 15. It operates within national safeguards and creates environmental and social co-benefits. Cataruben leads the project with Ecopetrol as a strategic partner, involving landowners as ecosystem managers. The collaboration is based on cooperation and shared responsibility, aiming to maximize environmental and social benefits through transparent and active participation of all stakeholders in a region dominated by agricultural and livestock activities. Economic incentives from the sale of carbon credits support the project's conservation activities, fostering a sustainable cycle of initiatives.
