PNN Tamá is a water star that supplies productive sectors and communities in several departments in northeastern Colombia and states in western Venezuela. The lack of local development, the armed conflict, as well as climate change and climate variability have generated pressures on land use in the area surrounding PNN Tamá. As a solution, from the National Natural Parks of Colombia we innovated the sustainable local production of coffee agroforestry systems, participatory monitoring of water resources and partnerships for resource management, which have strengthened investments and relationship processes with strategic actors in favor of the conservation of ecosystem services provided by the Park. In addition, we have supported the declaration of Civil Society Natural Reserves, surrounding and protecting PNN Tamá with private protected areas managed by the communities.
