'The wetland connects us': Colombia's great Ciénaga brings divided communities together

The Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta is Colombia's largest coastal wetland — a mangrove labyrinth that feeds thousands of fishing families. After decades of degradation, an Inter-American Development Bank project built around the motto 'La Ciénaga nos conecta' — the wetland connects us — has communities that were once separated restoring it together: replanting, governing the work jointly, and farming and fishing in ways the ecosystem can sustain.
