Whowe are
Harpy Eagle Nature Reserve
Natural Reserve for conservation and work for Nature, Science, and People
Harpy Eagle Nature Reserve protects 250 hectares of rainforest that are home to Isis, Apolo, Morocho, and Chimuela—the Harpy Eagle family that inspired a long-term conservation mission. Here, science, ecotourism, and the work with local communities come together to safeguard Colombia’s natural heritage.

Guardian of Biodiversity, Symbol of Healthy Rainforests.
The Harpy Eagle is one of the most powerful birds of prey in the world—and one of the most threatened. Our reserve protects one of the last founded nesting sites in Colombia. Get to know Isis, Apolo, and their offspring, and discover why protect them is saving the forest.
Conservation
in action
A Decade of Action: Science, Nature, and People United for Conservation
Our 10-year Conservation Action Plan (2023–2033) outlines the strategic vision that guides all efforts in the Harpy Eagle Natural Reserve. These six strategic lines bring together science, local communities, sustainable development, and collaboration and articulation to protect one of Colombia’s most vital ecosystems for the eagle ans associated species.
Research and Monitoring
We generate and consolidate knowledge about the Harpy Eagle, local biodiversity, buffer zone of Macarena National park and the ecosystem services provided by the reserve. Monitoring key species and habitats is essential to making conservation decisions.
Management and Conservation
We implement effective strategies for the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of natural resources. These actions involve local communities and are aimed at reducing threats and ensuring the long-term integrity of the ecosystem.
Environmental Education and Community Engagement
We develop educational programs and capacity-building initiatives that empower local and regional actors. These efforts foster awareness, responsibility, and positive attitudes toward biodiversity and ecosystem stewardship.
Information and Communication
We show our work sharing scientific results and conservation knowledge with different audiences—ranging from local communities and researchers to policy makers and the general public—promoting broad-based support for biodiversity protection.
Sustainable Tourism
We promote responsible tourism that aligns with our conservation goals. This includes the active participation of local communities and the development of nature-based experiences that support the reserve’s mission and long-term sustainability.
Governance, Operations, and Sustainability
We strengthen partnerships with government agencies, NGOs, academia, and private organizations. This line supports the reserve’s long-term operation, effective administration, and financial sustainability.
