WETLAND RESTORATION
First Prize at the United Nations Development Programme Competition 2025 (In progress on site)
SALCEDO LAGOON WETLAND RESTORATION
The sacred Salcedo Lagoon in Colombia faces threats today due to the environmental degradation of the wetland, lack of local governance and climate change. Our team won a competition summoned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and CAR in June 2025 aimed to propose a plan to restore the wetland's environmental wellness as well as to support the fragile local economy through a series of social entrepreneurship initiatives. The wetland's environmental restoration plan consists of implementing a community-based environmental education program, participatory ecological restoration, and sustainable development of the local economy.
