Soil Conservation Districts

  • A Soil Conservation District is a geographic environment whose strategic ecosystems at the regional scale continue to perform their functions, despite having undergone modifications in their structure and composition. These ecosystems are fundamental for the generation of environmental goods and services, whose natural and associated cultural values are offered to the human population for restoration, sustainable use, preservation, knowledge acquisition and enjoyment.

  • Currently, Colombia has 21 Soil Conservation Districts, covering a geographic area of 148,380.47 land hectares:
