Stop Guaviare Deforestation
Every great journey has a final step – and we’re on that threshold.
Deep in the Colombian Amazon, our
volunteer team has already poured 285,000 hours of passion and sacrifice into protecting 59,000
hectares of rainforest in La Fortuna and El Porvenir.
Only **$5,000 USD** stands between us and unlocking a new economic ecosystem that protects over **321,200 hectares** of Amazon rainforest.
Time is running out.
The stakes couldn’t be higher: the Amazon holds about 56.8
billion metric tons of carbon in its trees . Losing even a single hectare releases heat-trapping CO₂
and destroys irreplaceable wildlife habitat. We’ve come this close to a historic victory – but without your
help, it could slip away.

The benefactor, Don Benjamín Galvez Londoño, has not donated the property. Rather, in a visionary legal maneuver, he delegated the Executive Direction of the protected territories to a select council led by the CEO of Armon-IA. Eduardo Flores Sanchez.

This act, formalized under Colombian civil and environmental law, ensures that the land remains protected and sovereign — while enabling international cooperation, carbon certification, and shared stewardship. A legacy of hope and renewal for generations to come. This act, comprising a fortune of 9,200 hectares and an additional 50,000 hectares in Vaupés, forms the foundation of the Alegría Foundation. This initiative will be the cornerstone of the Armon-IA project, which will eventually expand to include 260,000 more hectares through the creation of the Association of Benefactors for Humanity—the bedrock upon which this visionary effort is built.
At the helm of this noble cause, Dr. Alegría and his team have made a solemn commitment to protect and expand this mission. Under his leadership, Armon-IA is born—an agency devoted to the ethical management of carbon credits and the financial backbone of this bold green endeavor.

- The Guaviare department in Colombia is recognized as one of the most significant areas experiencing deforestation. It's part of the Colombian Amazon and is known for high rates of forest loss due to various factors, including land grabbing for cattle ranching and agricultural expansion. The department's deforestation is a major concern, with experts citing the need for greater community involvement in conservation efforts and stricter enforcement of environmental regulations
Guaviare, Colombia is home to more than 30 endangered species, including jaguars, the blue-billed curassow, the brown-banded antpitta, the Cauca guan, and the gorgeted wood-quail. These species face threats from habitat loss, illegal mining, and armed conflict. Additionally, the department is home to various indigenous tribes, including the Jiw and the Nukak people, who are also considered endangered.
Forgotten Indigenous Zones
- The Nukak and Jiw are indigenous peoples in Colombia facing threats to their survival. The Nukak, one of the last nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes, are struggling due to displacement, violence, and disease. The Jiw (also known as Guayabero) have also been significantly impacted by the internal armed conflict and landmines, leading to displacement and loss of life. Both tribes are considered endangered and are in urgent need of protection and support.
