Apoyo en el diseño y ejecución de proyectos de resforestación con especies nativas en la Orinoquía

Abstract

The objective of this document was to support the structuring of reforestation projects being developed at IFCAYA SAS using native species in the Orinoquía region, as part of a strategy to reverse environmental damage and promote sustainability. These projects are based on an alternative land-use shift from extensive livestock farming (characterized by low productivity and the use of prescribed burns to stimulate the regrowth of degraded pastures) to sustainable forest production systems based on good forestry practices. To achieve this objective, several specific activities were carried out: first, information was collected on reforestation project experiences with native species in the Orinoquía; subsequently, a detailed analysis of the 2023 biodiversity studies conducted by WPA Fauna y Ambiente SAS was performed, during the second phase of monitoring of the “Grouped Project of Commercial Forest Plantations Initiatives in the Vichada Department VSC 1530,” with the aim of identifying and strategically selecting seed tree candidates from the species chosen for the reforestation program; finally, support was provided in the initial phase of nursery design, participating in the formulation of management protocol sheets for each selected species in both nursery and field phases.
