About this statute

This provision is the preamble of Law 2173 of 2021 and states its general purpose: to promote ecological restoration through tree planting and forest creation in the national territory. La disposición busca crear Áreas de Vida y bosques en los municipios, con apoyo de la población, empresas y entidades competentes, y encarga a las autoridades municipales de garantizar esa creación. The law says mayors must set aside part of the municipal territory to promote tree-related activities, with guidance from environmental authorities. This article defines “Área de Vida” and requires municipalities and related authorities to plan, register, and monitor these areas. Participants in tree-planting restoration programs must plant native species to receive a certificate. This article creates the “Siembra Vida Buen Ciudadano” certificate for citizens who comply with the law’s tree-planting requirements.
