For some connoisseurs of Colombia’s protected areas, the first words that come to mind when asked about the Guanentá Alto Río Fonce Fauna and Flora Sanctuary are “research” and “restoration”, while for those who work directly there the words “conservation”, “peace” and “work” are “conservation”, “peace” and “work”. The area has been recognized for its arduous work with the frailejones in the páramo for the last 8 years, positioning it as a leader in this area, producing its own plant material that is used to restore areas that have suffered the pressure of cattle ranching and burning, while at the same time conserving and researching, thus serving as a reference for other protected areas.
