Conservation with Impact


At Raíces House, we believe that protecting ecosystems is a shared responsibility. Our private nature reserve is registered under the guidelines of the Civil Society Nature Reserves (RNSC), regulated by Decree 1996 of 1999, which establishes incentives and benefits for landowners who conserve natural ecosystems. This legal framework allows us to develop sustainable activities such as ecotourism, environmental education, and ecological restoration, contributing to the preservation of biodiversity.

Law 99 of 1993 created the National Environmental System (SINA) and promotes the use of economic instruments for conservation, opening the door to incentive schemes and payments for environmental services. Thanks to this regulation, your support becomes a powerful tool to ensure the sustainability of our forests, water sources, and wildlife.

Payments for

Environmental
Services

Colombia has a robust regulatory framework that enables individuals and companies to contribute resources for conservation through Payments for Environmental Services (PES). This mechanism is regulated by:

  • Decree-Law 870 of 2017: Establishes the terms, conditions, and funding sources for implementing the PES incentive.
  • Decree 1007 of 2018: Regulates PES modalities, including biodiversity conservation, water regulation, and carbon capture.
  • CONPES 3886 of 2017: Sets the guidelines for the National PES Program, promoting the participation of the private sector and civil society.
  • Law 1955 of 2019 (National Development Plan 2018–2022): Reinforces the possibility of entering into agreements with communities and landowners for the protection of strategic areas.

These instruments allow companies and individuals to make voluntary contributions in cash or in kind, which can be recognized as part of their sustainability and corporate social responsibility strategies. Additionally, in some cases, these contributions may generate tax benefits in accordance with current legislation.

How to Donate?

Companies can include their contributions to Raíces House within their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs and report them as sustainability investments. Under Colombian regulations, these contributions may be deductible from income tax when made through authorized mechanisms, such as agreements with non-profit organizations for environmental purposes or through PES schemes regulated by Decree 870 of 2017.

Individuals can also participate through direct donations, contributing to conservation efforts and strengthening their commitment to the environment.
