Support women in Anori, Northern Colombia, as they restore a drained wetland, vital for endemic frogs and endangered bird species. Invasive grasses have taken over due to past mining. Women will lead native plant restoration, fighting invasive species and replenishing flora. Help us empower new women conservation leaders and safeguard a biodiversity hotspot for frogs and birds on the brink of extinction.
This wetland was drained by mining, harming fragile ecosystems. Invasive grasses took over, threatening endemic frogs and birds. Protecting endemic species is vital; the wetland is home to the critically endangered Chestnut-capped Piha and seven threatened amphibian species.
Local women will create native plant nurseries to restore the wetland. They'll replant native species once the wetland is restored, empowering them as conservation leaders. This grassroots effort will not only rescue critical habitat but also uplift the community.
Restoring the wetland ensures long-term survival of endemic and endangered species. Empowering women as conservation leaders will have a lasting impact on biodiversity protection. This project is a step towards a sustainable future for both wildlife and the community, preserving vital ecosystems for generations to come.
