Eden Project in Colombia
Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world.
Emerging from decades of war, scientists are rediscovering this incredible country’s huge library of environmental resilience. For the last four years, the Eden Project has been part of the GROW Colombia research collaboration leading their public engagement across three main research areas focussing on Natural Diversity, Agricultural Diversity and Socio Economics.

From investigating crop wild relatives of cacao, understanding the impact of habitat fragmentation on Andean bears, to exploring new lower impact ways to farm and finding ways that demonstrate the true value of more sustainable systems, the GROW Colombia programme is revealing a roadmap to a positive future.

With help from us all, Colombia could become a model for the rest of the world to emulate, demonstrating that conserving biodiversity can bring scientific knowledge, economic prosperity, social equity and political stability.
