Challenges lead to stronger inclusive projects: The case of a pot-honey project for the conservation of savannahs in the Colombian Orinco Basin.
Seasonally floodable savannahs are under current pressure by the expansion of rice and oil palm crops. To identify and promote native biodiversity productive alternatives we created an alliance with a local family that sustains traditional pot-honey production by the native stingless bee Melipona favosa, 24 families interested in adopting this practice, researchers from the National University bee lab, a local NGO, and funders.
