The CDR Orinoquia project is a large-scale afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation (ARR) initiative located in the department of Meta, Colombia. Its main purpose is to contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation through the protection and restoration of riparian forests and the afforestation of 8,441 hectares.
The project also seeks to promote the sustainable development of one of the most strategic regions for Colombia’s environmental future, as well as increase carbon retention and generate certified carbon credits.
The Colombian Orinoquia region represents one of the country’s most important environmental frontiers, as its ecosystems connect the Andes Mountains with the Amazon rainforest. Its conservation strengthens biological corridors that allow the movement of critically endangered species, protects native fauna, and ensures that these habitats remain havens of biodiversity.
The acronym CDR in its name comes from the term Carbon Dioxide Removal.
