Ministry of the Environment
The Ministry of the Environment is the highest environmental authority in Colombia and was created in 1993 through law number 99. Its objectives are, amongst others, to promote the policies and regulations relating to recuperation, conservation, protection, management, use and benefit of the environment and national natural renewable resources, with the aim of ensuring sustainable development.

The Ministry delimits and manages the areas which integrate the National Natural Park System. It also coordinates, promotes and directs research on the environment and natural renewable resources, as well as setting general principles of conservation, preservation, use, and direction of hydrographic river basins and other areas of environmental management such as marine and coastal zones.
