The National System of Protected Areas<\/h2>\n
\n

Colombia has the Sistema Nacional de \u00c1reas Protegidas<\/em>, or National System of Protected Areas. This system captures all protected natural areas, both areas open to the public, private lands and parks in the community. The system ensures the conservation of fauna, flora, biodiversity, landscapes, culture and history in the protected national parks.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
