Information on Biodiversity in Colombia

One of the few megadiverse countries in the world

It is estimated that between 200,000 and 900,000 species may exist in the country. It can be said that, approximately, for every 10 species that exist on the planet, one inhabits our territory. Having such a vast natural wealth is a gift and, at the same time, a responsibility to which, fortunately, many people and organizations are committed.
