This project seeks to protect Reserva Terrapreta, a 48-hectare property located between the Serranía de Chiribiquete and Sierra de la Macarena National Parks in Colombia. This acquisition safeguards important habitats for threatened species, including the brown wooly monkeys (VU), the lowland tapir (VU), the giant anteater (VU), and the yellow-spotted river turtle (VU), among others. This project also helps ensure ecological connectivity between Andean, Orinoco, and Amazonian ecosystems.
