Project 1A

Ante la creciente crisis climática y la alarmante pérdida de biodiversidad, América Latina y el Caribe han dado un paso fundamental con la Declaración de Chicó-Bogotá para una Biodiversidad Positiva, una iniciativa impulsada por investigadores, académicos y científicos destacados de la región para integrar el conocimiento científico en la formulación de políticas para la conservación y restauración de los ecosistemas.

Los ecosistemas de América Latina y el Caribe albergan más del 60% de la biodiversidad mundial, pero también se encuentran entre los más amenazados. La deforestación, la expansión urbana descontrolada, la contaminación y el cambio climático están causando una degradación acelerada de los recursos naturales. Ante este panorama, la Declaración de Chicó-Bogotá busca promover la investigación científica, la cooperación internacional y el financiamiento de proyectos que aseguren la restauración, conservación y uso sostenible de la biodiversidad como un pilar fundamental para el desarrollo sostenible de la región.

In the face of the growing climate crisis and the alarming loss of biodiversity, Latin America and the Caribbean have taken a crucial step with the Chicó-Bogotá Declaration for Positive Biodiversity, an initiative driven by leading researchers, academics, and scientists from the region to integrate scientific knowledge into policymaking for the conservation and restoration of ecosystems.

The ecosystems of Latin America and the Caribbean are home to more than 60% of the world's biodiversity, but they are also among the most threatened. Deforestation, uncontrolled urban expansion, pollution, and climate change are causing accelerated degradation of natural resources. In response to this situation, the Chicó-Bogotá Declaration seeks to promote scientific research, international cooperation, and funding for projects that ensure the restoration, conservation, and sustainable use of biodiversity as a fundamental pillar for the region’s sustainable development.
