About
Protect the Andes is a Colombian nonprofit founded in 2024 to restore, conserve, and research Andean ecosystems. In under two years, our team has built a field program spanning 8 sites across Colombia: from páramo biological islands at 4,200m to Caribbean coastlines and forests emerging from decades of conflict.
We work where science is scarce and the stakes are high: documenting vulnerable endemic species alongside indigenous communities, restoring wildlife corridors in fragmented tropical dry forests, and building the long-term climate datasets that local communities need to protect their water sources and defend their land.
Every project is documented through a short film, connecting a global audience to the landscapes and species we work to save. We believe science, storytelling, and community action are inseparable, and that the Andes deserve all three.
