Colombia is one of the countries with the highest biological diversity in the world and being a party in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) it has the commitment to establish and maintain terrestrial and marine protected areas’ systems in behalf of the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

In this understanding, the Embassy of the United States, through USAID, supports this aim of the government of Colombia, by means of the National System of Protected Areas (Sinap), to prompt the ful llment of the targets established by Colombia within the CDB framework.

Thus, the Conservation Landscapes Program is the point of convergence of an inter-institutional venture in which USAID is investing the contribution of the American people with the purpose of strengthening the institutional capacity and governance in the protected areas and their surrounding zones, so that in the long run the conservation of natural and cultural diversity is obtained and at the same time there is an improvement in the livelihoods of the communities living in the geographical areas prioritized by the Conservation Landscapes Program.
