Colombia and the U.S. Still Have No Double Taxation Treaty: How Does This Affect You? Finance Colombia

Colombia: A haven for biodiversity

Hosting COP16 in Colombia emphasizes the strategic importance and natural wealth of the country. With more than 67,000 species of plants and animals, Colombia is the third most biodiverse country in the world.

Yet many of Colombia’s most biodiverse regions lack formal protections or are at risk from climate change. TNC has been working with local partners to protect Colombia’s iconic landscape, including by creating the Natural National Park Serranía de Manacacías, which covers 68,000 hectares and connects the Amazon rainforest with the Orinoquia, the world’s largest tropical savanna.

Home to 40% of the world’s existing species, the second longest barrier reef, and more than 1/3 of freshwater resources, including the Amazon and Orinoco basins, the two most biodiverse on the planet, Latin America is a vital source of the world’s natural resources. But it also faces great challenges to halt the loss of biodiversity and face the impacts of the climate change crisis. Learn more about TNC’s work in this treasured part of the world.
