Proposals to Create an Action Plan for Forest Conservation in the Department of Antioquia

Abstract

In the face of the rapid loss of forests and biodiversity in Colombia, and specifically in Antioquia, all interested stakeholders — from civil society, academia, the private sector, and the State — are being invited to join in building an action plan for conserving the department's natural forests. The following is a summary of the work carried out during the events and preparatory workshops leading up to the International Forest Congress, highlighting the agreements reached so far for formulating the plan.
