Project Overview

In Colombia, 70% of all drinking water comes from the p�ramos (wetland) ecosystems. To help protect these valuable spaces, we launched the water brand Zalva in October, with the promise to protect a square meter of wetland for every bottle purchased. To date, 2.3 million bottles have been sold, protecting 2.3 million square meters of natural land and resources.
