Summary
WWF Colombia is working to expand and manage the National System of Protected Areas (SINAP), notably through the Herencia Colombia (HECO) initiative. Launched in June 2022, HECO aims to secure $245 million to protect nearly 29 million hectares of landscapes and seascapes, supporting Colombia's 30X30 goal. A specific GCF project under HECO focuses on climate-resilient management for 5.72 million hectares, benefiting over 329,000 people directly and approximately 16.9 million people indirectly through ecosystem-based adaptation.
Key insights
- WWF Colombia has collaborated with regional environmental authorities and National Natural Parks to establish over 20 million hectares of new protected areas and plan more than 40 areas using the SINAP planning guide.
- The Herencia Colombia (HECO) Permanence Funding Project (PFP), ratified on June 23, 2022, seeks $245 million in public and private funding to protect nearly 29 million hectares of seascapes and landscapes. This supports Colombia's 30X30 goal to protect 30% of its seas and continental territory by 2030.
- Over its first 10 years, the HECO PFP intends to create approximately 15 million hectares of new marine areas in the Pacific and Caribbean, and more than 2 million hectares of new terrestrial protected areas.
- A proposed GCF project under HECO aims to implement climate-resilient management practices across 5.72 million hectares. This project is designed to directly benefit 329,658 people and indirectly benefit 16,944,180 people (33% of the population) through ecosystem-based adaptation that protects water regulation and supply for urban populations.
