The President Juan Manuel Santos with his Minister of Environment , Gabriel Vallejo and other officials amount to the new protected area, the moor Belmira - Santa Ines , in Antioquia , to present the delimitation eight moors for that are protected from mining and other damages.
Amid the commemoration of World Water Day , the head of state presented the delimitation of the moors of Miraflores, Sonsn, Picachos, Frontino-Urrao, Farallones, Paramillo, Tatam and of course that of Belmira - Santa Ines.
According to information provided by the Casa de Nario, these moors benefit more than 3 million people with water supply.
The country has 36 moors, they supply 70% of water to the population and save millions in water treatment and transport infrastructure.
In addition, Colombia has 60% of the moors in the world, which led to that in 2015, the government undertook to have at the end of 2016 all these delimited ecosystems.
The event also will be the governor of Antioquia, Luis Perez; Mayor Belmira, Jorge Ignacio Londoo and Corantioquia director Alejandro Gonzalez.

Interesting development in said Antioquia: should give a strong hint for Continental Gold´s project...
Interesting also the coincidence of possible pending signature of peace agreement in Colombia and the said "delimitation and protection" of huge areas within Colombia.
Is there a masterplan behind that, that ex FARC "soldiers" should "guard & secure" these areas ? Otherwise these ex FARC "soldier" people would be jobless.
Santos became very unpopular in Colombia in recent weeks. Many Colombian fear, that after the peace agreement the ex FARC soldiers may join the criminal structures in Colombia.
A twist, to make them to protectors and guards of enviro zones would be very smart in this context. The express way for the delimitation of 8 moors (while Santurban moor alone took several years) may be a hint for this idea. In Germany we say "Den Bock zum Grtner machen". To set the fox to keep the geese. Politicians like to do so. Hmm...
