Among the activities of the “Wetlands Sponsor Plan” we achieved the excavation of two water mirrors, delimitation of the wetland through the installation of an adequate enclosure, elimination of the feet of Cyperus Papyrus, waste recollection, planting of trees and educational workshops for the community.

“The sponsorship of Los Patos Wetland is framed within the commitment of Coca-Cola FEMSA to generate economic, social and environmental value.” Silvia Barrero, Legal Vice President and Corporate Affairs of Coca-Cola FEMSA.
With the help of the communities around the wetland, important information was given for those who live nearby, for the care and protection of “Los Patos” Wetland. Information on native species was granted, as well as the type of plants indicated for planting and the proper way to collect the waste.

“The commitment is of the entire community of the municipality of Tocancipá to protect, defend and care for the wetland and its surroundings” Marithza Martin, president of the Community Action Board of Los Tilos Park.
All these actions gave positive results in the area, protecting 3 hectares of land in the wetland and planting 3,638 trees. These actions will provide a better quality of life for the human population, the flora and fauna of this beautiful place. The work carried out has been able to demonstrate a healthier, preserved and organized landscape. The birds and ducks are better observed, as well as the plants. Visually the landscape is cozy and bad odors have been reduced by a large percentage.

It is very important for the CAR Cundinamarca to encourage social and environmental responsibility to the companies that work in its jurisdiction. The development of this type of projects increases the participation of the private sector in the communities, which is a task that can hardly be developed through the government by its own.
