2016: A Year of Progress in Conservation for the Region
In 2016, WWF´s management in Latin America was effective. The work of our offices in their countries and the initiatives we manage from the Regional Secretariat to generate conditions and promote strategies and conservation actions paid off.
Among other results, there were new protected areas, an increased sustainable production, reforestation plans and more determined commitments to nature. The synergies with partners and allies, the dynamism of each office and the coordination of the Regional Secretariat of LAC, contributed to the fulfillment of our global mission.
On behalf of the regional offices and the WWF-LAC team, I am proud to share this selection of 2016 Achievements.

Colombia Declares New Protected Area To Preserve One of the Country’s Most Important RiversThe Alto Atrato region, located in the Colombian department of Chocó, is home to one of the country’s most valuable ecosystems. It is also the source of one of the Nation’s greater rivers, the Atrato. Thanks to the joint effort of WWF, Codechocó, the municipality of El Carmen de Atrato and the Constructores de Paz foundation, a 18,000-hectare DMI (Integrated Management District) protected area was declared. This will allow us to restore and preserve priceless ecosystems of paramo and subparamo, as well as high Andean and Andean forests in the beautiful Pacific region.
