 Reduction Initiatives Continued
Reforestation Project with Conservation International
Gran Tierra Energy prioritizes the protection and conservation of the environment and works with organizations that share similar values. Gran Tierra in partnership with Conservation International has committed to contribute USD $13 million over five years to a major reforestation and conservation project that will contribute to the restoration and protection of the Andres-Amazon corridor, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world.
Through comprehensive environmental and social programs the partnership between Gran Tierra and Conservation International also aims to educate communities and implement sustainable practices to reduce deforestation.
NaturAmazonas Deforestation Reduction Goal:
The NaturAmazonas project will reforest 1,000 hectares of land and will secure and maintain 18,000 hectares of forested land that adjoin the restoration areas.
BACKGROUND ON GRAN TIERRA ENERGY
Gran Tierra Energy Inc. is an independent international energy company focused on oil and natural gas exploration and production in Colombia and Ecuador.
The Company’s common shares trade on the NYSE American, the London Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GTE.
Gran Tierra believes that our activities and presence should coincide with a healthy environment and prosperous communities.
Given that nature-based approaches including conservation and restoration of tropical forests can provide 30% of the solution to climate change Gran Tierra believes that projects and partnerships such as this are contributing positively. It is expected that the actions developed by NaturAmazonas will contribute to reducing deforestation in the Amazonian foothills by at least 20% by 2021.
Expanding NaturAmazonas: Conservation and Prosperous Communities
Gran Tierra is expanding the NaturAmazonas project and partnership with Conservation International. This new project called “Conservation and Prosperous Communities” is designed to promote economic sustainability and conservation for rural communities in Putumayo. This program will work to support family food security needs, all while developing zoning areas for forest conservation and restoration activities.
