Abstract
The implementation of complementary conservation strategies is today a global necessity to stop climate change impacts as well as biodiversity loss. Doing it simultaneously in an agro-industrial project requires a measurable and quantifiable approach. Poligrow Colombia S. A. S., has carried out fauna and flora studies during the last 12 years in its oil palm project in Mapiripán, Meta. Additionally, last year an innovative biodiversity gain project has been proposed and is being implemented: a Habitat Bank. Throughout this project, the proposed conservation objectives will be achieved and monitored annually, offering scientific evidence to demonstrate progress in preservation and restoration of gallery forests and morichales, conservation of threatened fauna subject to hunting and illegal traffic and finally in the propagation of epiphytes. With the implementation of the project, it is expected the company will achieve a sustainable production accompanied by real biodiversity gain. La implementación de estrategias de conservación complementarias es hoy una necesidad mundial para detener los impactos del cambio climático y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Hacerlo simultáneamente en un proyecto agroindustrial requiere de un planteamiento medible y cuantificable. Poligrow Colombia S. A. S. ha realizado estudios de fauna y flora durante los últimos 12 años en su proyecto palmero en Mapiripán, Meta, y recientemente se ha planteado un proyecto de ganancia en biodiversidad que busca ser registrado como Bancos de Hábitat Poligrow Colombia (BHPC) para de esta forma cumplir los objetivos de conservación planteados y demostrar con cortes anuales los avances en las acciones para la preservación y restauración de bosques de galería y morichal, la conservación de la fauna amenazada sujeta a la caza y el tráfico ilegal y, por último, la propagación de plantas epífitas. Se espera con la implementación del proyecto lograr una producción sostenible acompañada de la ganancia en biodiversidad.
