Description
The JIGRANTU REDD+ Project is being developed in the Colombian Pacific region within the boundaries of the Community Councils of La Grande (13,252 ha), Río Jiguamiandó (51,504 ha) and Turriquitadó (9,256 ha) with a total of 74,012 ha of which 68,273 ha correspond to forest eligible for the project.
Most of the area is made up of the Truandó Helobiome and the Truandó Tropical Humid Zonobiome, covering more than 94% of the area. The most representative ecosystems are the Basal Humid Forest and the Basal Flooded Forest, covering more than 60% of the project area.
The main objective of the project is to environmentally and culturally conserve the territory of the councils, through the consolidation of self-government, strengthening of traditional knowledge, actions for sustainable development, and monitoring and control of the territory, to improve the quality of life of the communities that inhabit it over the duration of the project (30 years).
