NATURE
RESERVES
- We protect critical habitats across the country.
As part of its conservation strategy, Fundación ProAves has established 27 Nature Reserves with the goal of permanently protecting the habitats of species under some level of threat.
These conservation areas are located in strategic ecosystems such as high Andean forest remnants, páramos, subtropical forests, tropical humid and dry forests, mangroves, and coastal zones. They are home to a remarkable diversity of endemic birds, as well as mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and a wealth of plant life that has yet to be fully studied.
The ProAves Reserves serve as spaces for research and activities with local communities, such as workshops, environmental education, training courses, and responsible ecotourism. These areas are also used for the recognition and observation of wildlife as part of academic and university activities.
These conservation zones are part of the Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) and protect:
1.335 of the 1968 species found in Colombia
82 of the 107 globally threatened terrestrial (non-marine) species in Colombia
66 of Colombia’s 86 endemic species
