ESTRATÉGIA FINANCEIRA PARA AS ÁREAS PROTEGIDAS NA COLÔMBIA

back

FUNBIO and the German consulting firm GITEC were contracted by the Natural Heritage Fund (a member of RedLAC, of which FUNBIO is also a part) to conduct studies related to the sustainable financing of protected areas in Colombia. The goal is to develop a strategy for the long-term maintenance of these areas, similar to the ARPA Program’s Transition Fund, which calls for a gradual increase in government and private funding so that, after 25 years, these sources will finance 100% of the protected areas. This model is one of the key factors that has made ARPA a benchmark for neighboring countries.

The project is being carried out as part of a partnership between Patrimônio Natural and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to improve the management of the National System of Protected Areas and ensure its long-term sustainability; among its activities is the Financing for Permanence Program (PFP Colombia). The cost model designed by FUNBIO was developed based on the Herencia Colombia Program (HECO) and offers Colombia the ability to estimate the cost of establishing, consolidating, and maintaining the HECO program system, which covers all federal and some regional protected areas, as well as productive landscapes.

The project was completed in 2019.
