Within the framework of the campaign “With the environment for peace”, the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, simultaneously summoned the Regional Autonomous Corporations of the country to carry out tree planting days as an act of reconciliation with the environment.
In this sense, Corpoguajira carried out in the town of Conejo (Fonseca), la jornada “Siembra un árbol, sowing life ", con el propósito de vincular a las autoridades locales, instituciones educativas, and community in general; a la protección y preservación del medio ambiente, y a la construcción de un escenario pacífico en la región.
En el desarrollo de la jornada se hizo un reconocimiento a las personas que vivieron situaciones de desplazamiento forzoso de sus territorios. También se llevó a cabo la firma de un acuerdo de voluntades donde los asistentes se comprometieron desde sus roles a administrar los recursos naturales y a no olvidar que el medio ambiente también fue víctima del conflicto armado en Colombia.
Esta actividad se selló con la entrega de aproximadamente mil árboles, de los cuales se sembraron de manera simbólica, several of them in the main square. The rest of the trees will be planted by the inhabitants of Conejo themselves in strategic points.
According to figures from the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, el 58 % of the country's deforestation has occurred in areas affected by the Colombian armed conflict, what motivated the 33 Regional Autonomous Corporations of the country to join together to plant jointly near 70 thousand trees in the national territory and set a precedent of reconciliation with natural resources.
