The Amazon, Orinoco, and Pacific regions in Colombia presented high deforestation rates according to IDEAM (Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies) reason why the project aimed to protect and enhance restoration processes in 11 departments of Colombia. 

The project sought to reduce deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and biodiversity loss by fostering nature conservation and restoration. It enhanced the well-being of local communities in priority areas through sustainable nature tourism and innovative technology, creating a balanced approach to environmental and economic sustainability. 

This was achieved by increasing the visibility and income of tourism organisations that have biodiversity conservation and restoration initiatives, empower sustainable nature tourism businesses through capacity-building, both in their tourism operations and biodiversity conservation and restoration initiatives and enhance actions in favour of nature conservation and restoration. It benefited 121 nature tourism organisations and 1,211 beneficiaries over the 4 years of execution. 

"During the project, we were able to understand that by conserving and caring for our natural resources, we can create a community economy, such as tourism, build a social structure, and peace in our territories, because caring for ecosystems is caring for life."
