The Chiribiquete National Park protects 10.5 million acres at the northwestern edge of the Amazon Basin. Chiribiquete is the confluence point of four biogeographical regions—the Guianas, Orinoquia, Amazonia, and the Northern Andes. In total, the Park is part of a conservation corridor of more than 10 million hectares. The protected area is recognized as a biodiversity and endemism hotspot.

Chiribiquete is of great importance with respect to ecological and cultural protection. Nevertheless, there is a lack of strategies and measures to ensure long term conservation of this protected area and its buffer areas The agricultural frontier, the incursion of armed groups, and a weak governmental presence are contributing to the destruction of the ecological connectivity between these two protected areas.

Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) is working with local communities to develop agroforestry practices for sustainable production in the Bajo Caguán. Through their efforts, ACT has identified core areas and corridors for the conservation of biodiversity to ensure landscape connectivity. They are working with local families in prioritized landscapes to develop farm-level property planning strategies and sign conservation agreements to improve connectivity corridors associated with sustainable production systems with a value chain approach

Key species: White-bellied Spider Monkey (Ateles belzebuth, EN), Jaguar (Panthera onca, NT), Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja, VU).
