WITH CONEXIÓN JAGUAR
WE SUPPORT FORESTRY
PROJECTS IN
LATIN AMERICA.
The initiatives we support contribute to climate change mitigation, forest recovery and conservation and, in turn, issue or will issue certified carbon credits.
We will continue to grow in order to connect and keep the Jaguar Corridor alive, contribute to the conservation of fauna and flora species, preserve ecosystem services, and support community development.

Native trees are recovered in this project. Here, UMAU is restoring degraded lands through an agroforestry system of cocoa mixed with native species, some of them endangered, such as the abarco (Cariniana pyriformis).
UMAU, of Compañía Colombiana de Cacao, is in charge of making this project a reality. Today, UMAU is the largest cocoa grower in the country and has become a benchmark in the agricultural sector for its disruptive commitment to transform cocoa into a responsible experience with the environment and communities.
- We recorded the Blue-billed Curassow (Crax alberti), a critically endangered endemic species, which has not been recorded in the area since 2004.
- 40 species of fauna sighted and recorded by Conexión Jaguar in the project.
- 2.200 hectares under rehabilitation by planting cocoa associated with native species such as abarco and matarratón.
- Training for the establishment of sustainable timber and cocoa plantations.
- 264 jobs generated, representing nearly 18% of local employment.
- Provision of didactic material for the Campo Padilla local school and improvement of its infrastructure.
- Improvements to the infrastructure of the community field.
- Construction of a playground.

THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
The ceiba tolua and the abarco are two endangered native species that find refuge in this land restoration project, where an agroforestry system of cocoa with native species was implemented, and also preserves forests and water sources on 600 hectares.
Biodiversity
- Sighting of the cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus), an endemic species is critically endangered, as its population in the wild is estimated at only 6.000 individuals.
- Camera-trap recording of the blue-billed curassow (Crax alberti) an endemic and critically endangered species.

THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
The communities of the Alto Huayabamba Conservation Concession (CCAH) are improving their living conditions thanks to this project located in the department of San Martin. About 144.000 hectares of forest are conserved in the transition between the Andes and the Amazon.
Amazónicos por la Amazonía (AMPA) is the proponent of this project: an organizationcommitted to the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage, and to the improvement of the quality of life and sustainable development of the peoples of the Andean Amazon, which has been working to achieve this goal since 2003.
Biodiversity
- Record of nine mammals and eight birds, three of them in the vulnerable threat category, which, in addition, had not been recorded in this region.
- Record of the puma (Puma concolor), the most important predator in this ecosystem and an indicator of good forest health.
- Record of the Andean condor (Vultur gryphus), one of the largest birds in the world that is in endangered.
Communities
AMPA, with the support of Conexión Jaguar in the development of this project, generates:
- Social and economic initiatives to benefit the families living in the area where this project is being conducted.
- Improvement of housing conditions for 24 families that depend on the forest.

THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
In Pantanal, Brasil, the largest wetland on the planet, there are not only the largest jaguars on the continent and the highest population density of this species. This is also one of the regions with the greatest biodiversity of plants and animals and today they are protected in the 76.855 hectares that we support together with the Institutoo Homem Pantaneiro.
For nearly 20 years, the Instituto Homem Pantaneiro has been responsible for preserving the Pantanal biome and the region’s culture through the management of protected areas, the development of research, firefighting, and the promotion of dialogue between stakeholders in the area.
- One of the regions with the greatest biodiversity of plants and animals in Brazil.
- 44 species of mammals, birds and reptiles recorded by monitoring cameras.
- Seven species of high conservation value recorded.

THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
This environmental conservation project is located in Acre, on the banks of the Muru River, in the Brazilian Amazon biome: REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) project that will contribute to the preservation of about 40,000 hectares of forests.
Our company ISA ENERGÍA in Brazil supported this project led by Perfin, with the purpose of:
- Contribute to the mitigation of climate change.
- Reduce emissions caused by deforestation and degradation in Amazonia
- Protect endangered species of fauna and flora found in this ecosystem.
From the social front, we seek to act in the areas of infrastructure, education, health, and economy to provide long-term benefits to the communities living in the area.
The company’s support for the development of this project was provided through a contribution from the Perfin Angelin investment fund, managed by Perfin Infra Administração de Recursos Ltda, which combines the need for protection with the potential of forests to generate economic benefits.
Biodiversity
The project will generate impacts on biodiversity protection by protecting at least seven plant species and twenty-nine animal species against deforestation, which have been identified with some degree of threat in the “Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature” (IUCN), among them:
- Yellow lapacho (Handroanthus serratifolius)
- Big leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla)
- Tapir (Tapirus terrestris)
- Giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus)
- Jaguar (Panthera onca)

THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
Arauco
El proyecto está ubicado en la cordillera de Nahuelbuta, en las regiones administrativas del Biobío y la Araucanía, en la zona centro-sur de Chile. Este proyecto es estratégico a nivel país y región, debido a que esta cordillera es reconocida como reserva mundial de la biodiversidad, y se identifica como un hotspot debido a su alto grado de endemismo (presencia de especies que no se encuentran en ninguna otra parte del mundo) y a que es una zona con un alto grado de intervención humana.
Arauco es una empresa global que produce y gestiona recursos forestales renovables, asumiendo principalmente el compromiso de la sostenibilidad ambiental. En el marco de su política de Biodiversidad y Servicios Ecosistémicos, desde el año 2011, Arauco ha adquirido el compromiso voluntario de conservación y monitoreo dentro de su patrimonio como parte de su ciclo de certificación de manejo forestal sostenible bajo el estándar FSC.
