National Policy for the Integrated Management of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (PNGIBSE)

The National Policy for the Integrated Management of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (PNGIBSE), formulated in 2012, establishes Colombia's strategic framework for conserving biodiversity and ensuring the provision of ecosystem services through actions involving preservation, restoration, sustainable use, knowledge generation, risk management, and governance. The policy adopts a socio-ecological approach and promotes shared responsibility among the State, the productive sector, and civil society, as well as the integration of biodiversity into sectoral and territorial planning and decision-making. Its implementation is operationalized through action plans and periodic monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
