The project SAL, with an investment of 6.8 million dollars and a duration of 4 years, arose as a strategy to complement initiatives that Peru and Colombia are putting forward to reduce deforestation, increase carbon sequestration, and strengthen adaptation capacity to climate change at the local and national levels.
Why do we work in the Amazon rainforest of Colombia and Peru?
#Sabíasque Perú y Colombia albergan el 23% de la selva amazónica? #AmazonianLandscapes @uniamazonia @giz_gmbh @_ICP_

Did you know that: Peru and Colombia house 23% of the Amazonian jungle?
Peru and Colombia have a commitment to reduce the net losses of their natural forests to zero, as well as design national action plans for the mitigation of and adaption to climate change.

In order for these two countries to fulfill these commitments the project SAL will identify agricultural systems capable of expanding carbon sinks, protecting forests, strengthening the climate change adaptation capacity of local communities, and improving agricultural production.
El proyecto #AmazonianLandscapes es un ejemplo de lo que podemos lograr a nivel de América Latina cuando unimos fuerzas entre gobiernos.

The project #AmazonianLandscapes is an example of that which we can achieve at the level of Latin America when we unit forces across governments.
What does the project SAL aim to do?
CIAT, by means of the project SAL, seeks to evaluate the options present in two sites – Loreto (Peru) and Caquetá (Colombia) – chosen for their high indices of deforestation (which is associated with livestock farming, the expansion of commercial agriculture, the reduction in productive capacity of the soil, and the construction of roads) and because their local policymakers show a special interest in reversing the land degradation present.
