Community-Based Strategy to Conserve the Malaga Bay Region of the Pacific Coast of Colombia as a Contribution to Conserve the Choco - Manabi Coast

Develop legal protection of the mangroves along the southern portion of Colombia’s Pacific coast, and the local community-based support to manage these important areas into the future. The project directly links to CEPF’s investments on the Ecuadorian coast supporting the improved protection of the Cayapas-Mataje Ecological Reserve, thus helping to create a bi-national corridor of coastal mangrove forests.
