Forest voices: Raising awareness on tropical dry forest through arts and culture

The municipality El Carmen de Bolívar in northern Colombia is highly affected by deforestation and biodiversity loss. It is home to the tropical dry forest which is one of the most fragile ecosystems in the entire tropics. This IKI Small Grants project addresses the loss of the tropical dry forest by bringing together traditional and scientific knowledge to renew and strengthen cultural sustainable relationships between the ecosystem and its inhabitants through various artistic and cultural expressions. This process aims to strengthen local leadership, artistic skills and cultural and scientific knowledge of young men, women, and youth leaders to help them tackle deforestation and shape future sustainable forms of living.
