ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

We are committed to conserving and protecting ecosystems and biodiversity, not deforestation, by maintaining hectares of native forest, protecting water courses, flora, and fauna, and restoring ecosystems. We understand the latter as the activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem, improving the state of conservation, recovering degraded sites, and increasing the flow of ecosystem goods and services.

CMPC’s Nature, Conservation and Biodiversity Strategy is based on four pillars. The first is Biodiversity, which seeks to promote all life that exists on Earth; next is the Ecosystem services axis, which consists of identifying and highlighting the benefits that people obtain from ecosystems; thirdly, creating Nature-based Solutions, which refers to using natural elements to address socio-environmental challenges; and finally, Territoriality, which consists of having a complete view of the landscape, incorporating the vision of the communities, inside and outside of CMPC’s heritage.
