SalvaMontes Colombia

In 2016, a group of biologists, naturalists, and conservationists joined forces to prevent the extinction of three critically endangered magnolia species in Alto de Ventanas, Antioquia, Colombia. This initiative gave rise to SalvaMontes Colombia, a non-profit organization currently focused on protecting endemic and endangered species through the conservation and restoration of their habitats, primarily through the establishment of Nature Reserves. Today, we have five reserves located in the Tropical Andes and Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena hotspots, protecting more than 30 endangered species and more than 100 endemic species.

We combine research, outreach, and environmental education with scientific tourism so that local communities can take ownership of their biodiversity and adopt practices that are harmonious with nature.
