Colombian National System of Protected Areas

The Colombian National System of Protected Areas (SINAP) is a government framework that manages and conserves the country’s natural environments, including national parks, forests, and wildlife reserves. It aims to preserve biodiversity, protect ecosystems, and support sustainable development. SINAP designates specific areas where human activities are regulated to prevent environmental damage while allowing for scientific research, recreation, and cultural preservation. By maintaining these protected areas, Colombia ensures the health of its natural resources for future generations, fosters ecological balance, and promotes eco-tourism and environmental awareness.
