What it is

A voucher that lets you contribute to the protection of a water unit of the reserve: a river, lagoon, waterfall or other water unit.

What it protects / supports

The specific water feature that is protected or supported can be a river, a lagoon, a waterfall, a watershed or another water unit of the reserve that is defined later.

How it works

Under the reference model used by Santuario Chiquito, each unit of this voucher is equivalent to protecting 1 liter of water per day for a year — that is, 365 liters a year. If you choose more than one unit, the equivalence and the value scale proportionally: 2 units equal 730 L/year for COP 250,000, 3 units equal 1,095 L/year for COP 375,000, and so on (liters/year = units × 365; value = units × COP 125,000). The contribution goes to water-related protection actions within the reserve.

What happens after you purchase it

Your contribution goes to the conservation work associated with this voucher within the reserve.

Terms and scope

This voucher is a contribution mechanism to the reserve's productive conservation model. It is not a property purchase, an environmental certification or a certified offset. See the notice on Conservation Vouchers for more information. The liters/year equivalence is a reference factor of the Santuario Chiquito model, not an exact measurement of a real flow.

Voucher registration and traceability

—Unique registration ID

—Assigned polygon / area (m²)

—GPS geolocation

Each voucher is designed to have a unique registration ID, a polygon or assigned area within the reserve (in m²) and its geolocation on a map. These fields will be activated once real geospatial information for the land assigned to each voucher exists — no simulated coordinates, polygons or IDs are shown.
