World Land Trust has partnered with FBC to purchase and secure 482 ha of forest as an expansion to El Silencio Natural Reserve.

IUCN-NL awarded a Small Grant for the Purchase of Nature in 2011 to purchase El Silencio Natural Reserve and, in 2017, a second grant to expand the reserve.

The Colombian clothes industry Tennis S.A. gave a generous donation of 260 ha to complete the purchase of 482 ha of forest and 37 ha of productive land of their property, to expand El Silencio Natural Reserve.

WCS has been partner of FBC since 2014 in the framework of the Wildlife Project, sponsored by Ecopetrol. Several activities, such as the nursery construction and restoration within El Silencio have been carried out with their support.
