Featured Project: The U’wa Community and El Cocuy National Natural Park

Escuela Galán launched two successive projects involving the U’wa community and the area surrounding El Cocuy National Natural Park. Flor Naciente assumed responsibility for both projects, continued their delivery, and brought them to completion. The second project continued the work of the first.

The initiatives involved Colombia’s National Land Agency, National Natural Parks of Colombia, and private-sector participants associated with hydrocarbon transport infrastructure, including Cenit. This reference describes their documented institutional involvement and does not imply that any of these organizations currently endorses Flor Naciente.

Phase One: Land-Tenure Regularization

The project brought together technical, administrative, and financial resources to support land-tenure regularization in the Park’s buffer zone and in the Resguardo Indígena Unido U’wa.

Result: approximately 4,000 hectares regularized for the benefit of the Indigenous reserve
Phase Two: Conservation and Ecosystem Services

The second phase continued the process, focusing on conserving and maintaining ecosystem services in the Park’s eastern sector by regularizing strategically important land.

Results: 19,000 hectares regularized · 40,000 hectares under passive restoration · 25 kilometres of linear isolation fencing
