"Andes Amazon Fund celebrates the creation of Las Siete Sabias-Esperanza de
Vida, a new protected area in Chocó, Colombia. Sieta Sabias conserves 75,116
acres (30,398 ha) of tropical rainforest along Colombia’s Pacific coast,
boosting connectivity within the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena biodiversity hotspot.
Siete Sabias is as much a victory for nature as it is for the people of Chocó—
the local communities, primarily Afro-Colombian, played a major role in the
area’s creation, noting its importance for the protection of their water
sources and local economy."
