REDD+ PROJECT
The forests in our reserve form part of a REDD+ project
The Magnolios REDD+ Project, registered under the Verra (VCS) international standard, protects native forests in the Andean region of Antioquia, home to unique and endangered species such as Magnolia guatapensis and Magnolia yarumalensis, as well as iconic wildlife such as the jaguar and the puma. Its aim is **to prevent deforestation, conserve biodiversity and support local communities** through conservation, restoration and environmental education activities.
By purchasing carbon credits from this project, you not only offset your carbon footprint, but also contribute directly to the protection of Andean forests, the preservation of threatened species and the promotion of sustainable development in the region.
👉 We invite you to consider purchasing carbon credits from the Magnolios REDD+ Project and to be part of this conservation initiative with a real and measurable impact.
