The Villagarzón project, particularly the Tigres del Alto vereda, is the proud birthplace of the Savimbo project and a community where smallfarmers and veredas have resisted mining and petroleum interests for over two decades. Climate activism is not just the hobby of the rich and entitled. If you want to see what real, grassroots, Indigenous-led climate activism looks like — come meet the smallfarmers and community leaders in Villagarzón.

This project applies the Savimbo Indicator Species Biodiversity Methodology to strengthen conservation efforts and offers a streamlined access for Indigenous and local community members to international markets.
