The Tigres del Alto Vereda is a community in the Putumayo Amazon known for protecting 14k hectares of biodiversity hotspot with a very high level of rare species that is profoundly under categorized. They have stopped hunting on the vereda and voluntarily protected an endangered bear without resources for twenty years.
The community is the birthplace of the Indicator Species Biodiversity Methodology and its land is enrolled in the Savimbo Biodiversity Putuymao project.
