Our History

Biodiversity Conservation Colombia

The Biodiversity Conservation Colombia Foundation was created in 2016 by Jacob Stanley Griffiths and Erika Patricia Lopez as an initiative to conserve the biodiversity of the Malpelo sanctuary, through the Protect Malpelo - Project Silky. 

Since then, we have been working nonstop in the area, gaining experience and developing a sustainable strategy to maintain the presence of our project in the area.

Today, we have a complete and renewed platform with an experienced crew, and we have achieved excellent results during all these years.
