biodiversity monitoring efforts are continuous. Recently, we conducted two studies: the first is using trail cameras to analyize the diversity and composition of medium and large mammals in savanna ecosystems, natural gallery forests, and commercial forests managed by FFC. The second focuses on bird species allowing us to develop an inventory and gather valuable data on their presence and behavior in the region.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd96ec5 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dd96ec5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_scale_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_scale_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:2,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;],&quot;motion_fx_scale_direction&quot;:&quot;out-in&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_scale_range&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:20,&quot;end&quot;:80}}}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/forestfirst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/monitory-stats.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA1NCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2ZvcmVzdGZpcnN0LmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDdcL21vbml0b3J5LXN0YXRzLnBuZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/forestfirst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/monitory-stats.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1054\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/forestfirst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/monitory-stats.png 621w, https:\/\/forestfirst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/monitory-stats-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/forestfirst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/monitory-stats-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08756b0 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"08756b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The objective of this monitoring initiative is to characterize the composition, relative abundance, and activity patterns of terrestrial mammal communities and birds within areas influenced by commercial forest plantations.

not under our management. This improvement is the result of an increase in the vegetative litter layer on the soil, as the trees mature and reach canopy closure. Early evidence shows an increase in soil organic matter, which is now measured on an annual basis and is a key aspect in sustainable land management. The reduction and eventual elimination of uncontrolled wildfires allows for the soil to recover from the decades of degradation and poor management practices. Additionally, improvements in the organic carbon levels are also detected and are associated with improved rainfall infiltration and increased soil biotic

Efforts \u00a0Forest First Colombia (FFC) offers a high-integrity, nature-based climate solution to one of Latin America\u2019s most pressing land-use crises: the escalating degradation of the Vichada savannas, driven by decades of unsustainable cattle ranching and a growing epidemic of uncontrolled, human-induced wildfires.
