Strategic Projects
At Cerrejón, we are committed to the stewardship and restoration of ecosystems of ecological importance for La Guajira, as well as their study and research. We also continue to make efforts directed at the conservation of endangered species of fauna and flora and seek to involve the relevant stakeholders in these processes. We do this through three major projects:
Wϋin-Manna Biodiversity Corridor
We have worked to build a biodiversity corridor of more than 25,000 hectares between the Serranía del Perijá and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in the interest of preserving the local tropical dry forest.
Declaration of Protected Areas
At Cerrejón, we are committed to undertaking our operations while reducing and mitigating our impact on the environment, and we monitor the effectiveness of our policies regularly.
Tropical dry forest laboratory
Cerrejón and the Humboldt Institute established the first laboratory for investigating this ecosystem in the Colombian Caribbean with a permanent mega-plot for its monitoring.
