An environmental group in Colombia is leading a project to save wild areas in the San Lucas mountains with the help of coffee growers. Gold mining and coca farming make more money than coffee growing. So the group WebConserva helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country. The goal is to limit additional development in the northern San Lucas area which is rich in biodiversity, meaning many forms of life live there. Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any country after neighboring Brazil, but destruction of forests has increased since 2016.
