This term refers to one of the world\u2019s most biodiverse yet threatened regions, spanning the Andes from Venezuela to northern Argentina. There are 36 Hotspots globally, each consisting of biodiversity corridors. In Colombia, alongside the Tropical Andes, there is also the Choc\u00f3-Darien Hotspot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Value of the Tropical Andes Hotspot in Colombia\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Tropical Andes Hotspot contains 11 biodiversity corridors, with the southwestern portion located in Colombia\u2019s western mountain range. Two essential biodiversity corridors in this zone are the Aw\u00e1-Cotacachi-Illinizas (spanning Nari\u00f1o and extending into northern Ecuador) and Paraguas-Munchique\/Southern Montane Forests of Antioquia (covering Antioquia to Cauca). These corridors house 14 Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), 10 of which have been prioritized for investment by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF).<\/p>\n<p>The CEPF collaborates with civil society to protect these critical biodiversity areas worldwide. In Colombia, it partners with Fondo Patrimonio Natural to connect the fund with CSOs that are working on conservation projects in KBAs alongside communities, aiming to ensure the sustainability of these processes in the territories.<\/p>\n<p>These areas are essential for conserving unique species facing a high risk of extinction, and their preservation is critical for the future of global biodiversity. Moreover, the Andes serve as water towers for South America, feeding rivers such as the Amazon and Orinoco, which provide water to numerous cities, including four national capitals.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW146919042 BCX0\" lang=\"ES-ES\" xml:lang=\"ES-ES\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW146919042 BCX0\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal\" data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: normal\">[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4129&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Source: CEPF<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Custodians of Biodiversity: A Collaborative Project<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nAware of the importance of these vital areas, a group of civil society organizations committed to conservation, supported by CEPF and Patrimonio Natural, have united under the &#8220;Custodians of Biodiversity&#8221; initiative.
