The Putumayo landscape has a high potential for nature tourism development, thanks to its extraordinary species diversity that inhabits its territory.
In this context, the strategies for sustainable use of biodiversity focus on promoting alternatives such as birdwatching and butterfly watching tourism, with the aim of strengthening the development of local communities.

These initiatives are strengthened through training programs related to sustainable tourism. One example of this is the formation of groups such as the "Cock-of-theRock group" collective, which work on promoting responsible practices and generating sustainable lifestyle habits to protect biodiversity.
Species such as the black tinamou play a prominent role in these strategies, as they are threatened by habitat loss and hunting. By implementing these actions, not only is the economic development of local communities promoted, but it also contributes to reducing the pressures that threaten the population of this and other key species in the ecosystem.
