 BIODIVERSITY
Thinking of Colombia, it comes to mind a geographically and
natural privileged territory, that emerges from the waters of
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and that is found in the
northeastern end of Latin America, serving as a meeting point
for the continent.

What is biodiversity?

Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals living on

Earth, carefully playing an important part in maintaining the
balance of nature.
 Colombias facts
The Colombian territory counts with 2 important
mountain formations:

1.The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

2.The wonderful Serrana de la Macarena.

Colombias facts

Colombia has 0.8% of the planets terrestrial surface, but

its the third country with greater biodiversity in the world,
after Brazil and Indonesia
According to its altitude, Colombia counts with all warm,
cold and in between weathers, and because of the fact that
its soils come from volcanic activity they blend perfectly to
offer the most varied and exotic crops.
 FLORA IN COLOMBIA
Of the many surprises Colombia has to offer, few expect it to
be a country so rich in flora and, yet, Colombia is the country
with the highest rate of species by unit of area in the entire
world. Colombia, lest you not believe us, is home to over 130,000
species of plants.
Its famous for its flowers, amongst which outstands the orchid,
the national flower that has near 3.000 varieties.
 Orchid (Cattleya trianae) is the national
flower of Colombia.

 KEY SPECIES
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. That is a familiar definition
but what it really means for most of us is the number and variety of
species. Fauna & Flora International (FFI) works to protect countless
species through our conservation programmes.
We carry out monitoring to find out how the plant or animal is faring
and raise awareness in local communities about its importance.
And often most importantly, we secure the species habitat, without
which it cannot survive.
Our teams dont just work to protect charismatic species. We have
a soft spot for the underdog. For instance, we have long
championed the importance of protecting reptiles on Caribbean
islands, such as the Antiguan racer snake.
Many of these species were on the brink of extinction due to
invasive rats and mongoose, which is why FFIs efforts to create safe
havens were so important.
The below represents just a selection of the species we work on
