Ecosystem Restoration Project: This pioneer project in Colombia started in 2008 at the same time La Reserva Biopark was founded after a forest fire that destroyed hundreds of hectares of high Andean Forest. Since then, 5 hectares out of 20 have been restored to a state of biodiversity not longer found in the remnant ecosystem close to the capital city of Bogota. The importance of this restoration project is that it has included hundreds of thousands of visitors that have interact and understood the importance of performing active conservation via ecosystem restoration.
