Any CAR (Corporación Autónoma Regional) (Regional Autonomous Corporation) is
a public corporate entity integrated with all other relevant territorial
authorities that together belong to a geographical basin or ecosystem and they
are in charge of enforcing the environmental policies of the Ministerio del
Medio Ambiente (Ministry of Environment) in that specific region.
They were first mentioned in Article 23, Law 99 of December 22, 1993, and then
each CAR was established by a particular Decree later.

However there's currently a Bill in Congress that estipulates the closure of 32
of these CAR's given the poor response and bad management that they faced during
the 2010 local flood crisis.

Each CAR (Corporación Autónoma Regional, Autonomous Regional Corporation) is
a government mechanism to watch over the ecosystem in each specifically
jurisdiction where it operates, and it is funded by the central government, and
even though they are semi independent organizations (descentralized institutions),
they are organization-wise dependent to the Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo
Sostenible (Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development) (which chenged
its name from Ministerio de Ambiente, Vivienda y Desarrollo Territorial (Ministry
of the Environment, Housing and Regional Development).
ALL the CARs (Corporaciones Autónomas Regionales, Autonomous Regional
Corporations) are together in the ASOCARS (Asociación de Corporaciones Autónomas
Regionales y de Desarrollo Sostenible, Association of Autonomous Regional
Corporations and Sustainable Development) (official website:
http://www.asocars.org.co/
). The Statutes of the ASOCARS are established in its Acta 058 del Libro III de
Actas de la Asamblea General (Act 058 of the Third Book of Acts of the General
Assembly):
