In the municipalities of Sesquilé and Guatavita, Colombia has launched a pioneering initiative that integrates the planting of native trees with the installation of beehives. This project, led by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development in collaboration with the UNDP, has successfully restored 577 hectares of alto-andine forest by planting 97,000 trees and establishing 190 beehives. The dual aim was to rehabilitate degraded soils from livestock farming, protect water sources, and provide alternative income for local communities through beekeeping.
