Colombia has a stunning array of biodiversity, as well as a rich and varied cultural heritage. Nearly 10% of all living species can be found here. The heart of the Chocó biodiversity hotspot is here–home to one of the most species-rich rainforests on Earth.

Unfortunately a host of threats have put increasing pressure on Colombia’s environmental treasures. Expanding agriculture, urbanization, mineral discoveries and population growth make our work here all the more urgent. Nature and Culture’s work in Colombia focuses on conserving the country’s incredible natural resources in conjunction with local communities. With our partners, we are providing viable economic opportunities, environmental education and land conservation on an unparalleled scale.
