Environmental compensation is the set of actions aimed at offsetting the residual and unavoidable impacts that a project generates on biodiversity, ecosystems, and natural resources. In Colombia, compensation is a legal obligation for projects that require an environmental license and is regulated by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. At Corporación Bioparque, we design and implement compensation plans that meet regulatory requirements while generating real conservation value.

What does this service include?
  • Identification and quantification of residual impacts subject to compensation
  • Application of the No Net Loss methodology required by Colombian regulations
  • Selection of compensation areas based on ecological and social criteria
  • Design of conservation, restoration, or sustainable use actions
  • Preparation of the compensation plan document according to ANLA requirements
  • Implementation support and monitoring of compensation commitments

What types of compensation are required in Colombia?

Colombian regulations establish compensation obligations for impacts on forests, wetlands, páramos, mangroves, and other strategic ecosystems. The most common forms include ecosystem restoration, reforestation with native species, conservation of equivalent areas, and support for protected area management.
Our approach

At Corporación Bioparque we go beyond mere regulatory compliance. We design compensation plans that generate genuine biodiversity gains, strengthen local conservation efforts, and create shared value for communities and ecosystems. Our team has experience identifying and implementing compensation actions across Colombia's diverse landscapes, from Andean forests to tropical lowlands.
