CDR ORINOQUIA

The CDR ORINOQUÍA project, developed by Biofix Consultoría S.A.S BIC, is a large-scale afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation (ARR) initiative designed to mitigate climate change by restoring degraded savannah ecosystems in the Orinoco region of Colombia. The project covers 8,441 hectares across seven private properties (Arizona, La Fortuna, La Carolina, San Andrés, Villa Claudia, Buenos Aires, and San Miguel) located in Puerto Gaitán, Meta. The project employs a dual reforestation strategy: Forest Plantations: Establishment of non-native species (Eucalyptus pellita and Pinus caribaea). Natural Enrichment: Restoration of non-flood zones and flooded areas (gallery and moriche forests) using native species such as Cassia grandis, Hymenaea courbaril, Caraipa llanorum, Mauritia flexuosa, Euterpe precatoria, and Manilkara zapota. To achieve its goals, the project operates a permanent nursery producing over three million seedlings annually. Implementation includes specialized machinery for site preparation, alongside GPS and drone technology for precise monitoring. This integrated approach aims to increase carbon sequestration and generate certified carbon credits while contr
