Climate Action! Support Nature Reserve in Colombia

Dear donors and supporters,

We are excited to share information about our inaugural Living Forest Festival (Festival del Bosque Vivo), taking place on July 30th and 31st in Gámbita, Santander.

This event will celebrate our recent activities with children from three different school groups, focusing on forest conservation education. We will also be awarding prizes for the best entries in a contest of short stories, drawings, and poems created by the youth who have been on this conservation learning journey with us over the past semester.

Additionally, we are preparing for the 5th edition of the Muyso Festival at Lake Tota, scheduled for November. This event will also celebrate youth conservation efforts, with a focus on wetlands.

Your continuous support is instrumental in enabling all our activities in the Xieti and La Hondura Canyon nature reserves, which form a crucial part of our climate action strategy.

We are deeply grateful for your ongoing commitment to our cause.

Sincerely,

Dear Valued Donors and Supporters,

We are excited to share an update on our "Climate Action! Support Nature Reserve in Colombia" project. As you know, our mission is to create and manage two private nature reserves in Colombia, with the goal of enhancing human-nature harmony, promoting sustainable practices, and providing a platform for participatory and academic science.

In our continuous efforts to educate and raise awareness about the importance of protecting forests and combating climate change, we are proud to announce the launch of our new initiative, "From the Forest!" This series of podcast-stories will be broadcasted on community radio stations and YouTube, reaching a wide audience and capturing the hearts and minds of listeners.

Through captivating storytelling, "From the Forest!" will transport listeners into the depths of these precious ecosystems, highlighting their vital role in mitigating climate change and the urgent need for their preservation. Each episode will delve into the unique biodiversity, cultural significance, and ecological importance of our nature reserves, fostering a deeper connection and appreciation for these natural wonders.

By leveraging the power of storytelling and the accessibility of audio platforms, we aim to inspire individuals, communities, and decision-makers to take action and adopt more sustainable practices. Our goal is to create a ripple effect, where each listener becomes an ambassador for environmental stewardship, spreading awareness and contributing to the global effort against climate change.

We invite you to join us on this exciting journey by supporting our "From the Forest!" initiative. Your continued support will enable us to produce high-quality content, reach wider audiences, and amplify the voices of those working tirelessly to protect our planet.

Together, we can make a lasting impact and pave the way for a more sustainable and harmonious future for generations to come.
