In Bolivia, the project \u201cImplementation of the Management Plan and Life Plan for the Pil\u00f3n Lajas Biosphere Reserve and Indigenous Territory in Bolivia\u201d, implemented by the Tsiman\u00e9 Mosetene Regional Council, also made significant progress in terms of gender equality.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thus, a total of 40 indigenous women from 4 communities are carrying out the activity of extracting essential oils. To this end, they have been trained, have received equipment for the work and have managed to build a laboratory that is already in operation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we have not been able to work with all the communities, we have started with 4 in which women have been strengthened and now we know more about our rights. Within our territory we have 3 indigenous peoples and there is little participation of women, but thanks to this project we have been strengthened and united during this time\u201d, emphasizes the vice-president of CRTM, Magaly Tipuni.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, in Colombia, the Fundaci\u00f3n Calima, thanks to its initiative \u201cConserving 13 species of threatened amphibians in the Serran\u00eda de los Paraguas de Colombia\u201d, stands out in terms of gender equality.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Through the project, training sessions were held to learn about amphibian monitoring, aimed mainly at local stakeholders. Of the total number of participants (177), 88 were women, who benefited from practical and theoretical training.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cOur project gained a lot thanks to the increasing inclusion of women, who provided a different knowledge and a new perspective to work on amphibian conservation in the area (Serran\u00eda de los Paraguas),\u201d explains Jhon Jairo Ospina-Sarria, project coordinator.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition, it is important to mention that, at the beginning of 2023, a workshop on gender equality was also held with members of the Calima Foundation, interns, members of \u00c1guilas Crestadas and the Serraniagua Corporation (6 women and 8 men).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The efforts throughout the implementation of the initiative, as well as the work that the Calima Foundation had already started since 2019, triggered an internal document (published in 2023) with guidelines to promote gender equality, inclusion and strengthening the participation and decision-making of women in activities in all projects that the foundation develops and manages.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The three projects mentioned above are just a sample of the importance of working on projects with a gender focus and a step forward to obtain important achievements in this area within the different Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) of the Tropical Andes Hotspot.<\/p>\n
