San Andrés Reforests Mangroves to Protect Coastal Ecosystem

San Andrés is actively pursuing environmental conservation with a new reforestation effort in the 'Old Point' Regional Natural Park. Over 300 mangrove seedlings were planted to bolster the protection of the archipelago's vital ecosystem, crucial for biodiversity and coastal stability. This initiative is a collaborative effort between environmental authorities, academic institutions, and the local community, aiming to restore areas affected by erosion and deforestation. Mangroves serve as a natural barrier against storms and provide refuge for diverse flora and fauna. The reforestation seeks to recover the ecosystem and raise community awareness about its importance. Volunteers from various sectors participated, united for the well-being of the archipelago. Further activities are planned to achieve sustainable recovery of 'Old Point' and promote environmental conservation in San Andrés.
