From Chaparral and Planadas, in the department of Tolima, a group of farmers traveled to the municipality of El Águila, in the north of Valle del Cauca, to exchange ideas on both topics. The meeting was inspired by two successful conservation initiatives.
What motivated this gathering? What were its main takeaways?

In this municipality in the southwest of Tolima, and with the support of the local communities, work has been underway to plant, in the next two years, close to two thousand individuals of this species.

This important commitment includes research on methods to optimize seed germination in shorter periods of time. The main objective, ultimately, is to add to the survival of Colombia's national tree in these Andean areas.
