Officers, NCOs and soldiers belonging to the Air Combat Command No.5, Airplan, Cornare, Environmental Police, Scouts and the Community action Board of the village, were the main actors of this environmental activity, which promotes the preservation of the environment and the natural resources of the region.
Actions like these will continue to be carried out by the Colombian Air Force in different points identified as deforestation areas, gradually repairing the damage on the rivers and mountains, which provide the surrounding populations.
