To whom it may concern.

As a stakeholder of the “Forestry Project in Strategic Ecological Areas of the Colombian Caribbean Savannas” and during the public comment period, ONF international would like to point jointly with CORMAGDALENA the followings comments: 

i)	Section C-6), step 4: the project conducted by CORMAGDALNEA is mentioned, but the list of municipalities involved is incomplete. There have been 6 municipalities involved since the beginning of this project and not only 5 as mentioned in the PDD: El Pinon, Sta Barbara de Pino, Tenerife, Zapayan, Pedraza and Plato. This means that one municipality: Plato, is common to both projects. However, the exact location of the piece of lands involved in each project will clearly demonstrate that there is no overlap.

ii)	Same section of the PDD, the Table 24 should be corrected as follow:
a.	Date of establishment: 2000-2012
b.	Owner of land / entities involved: Small, medium and large land owners, CORMAGDALENA, FINAGRO, ONF International, A.W. FABER CASTELL & T.H. REFORESTATION S.A.S
c.	Species: Gmelina arborea, Tectona grandis, Bombacopsis quinata, Tabebuia rosea y Eucalyptus tereticornis
d.	Area: ≈ 4.500 ha
e.	Assessment as common practice: change the first point with the fallowing: ’participation not possible for areas outside the CORMAGDALENA jurisdiction (municipalities along the river Magdalena)’. The last two points are correct
