Amazing Locations!

Fragile ecosystems in the Colombian Andes are particularly susceptible to human intervention. They exhibit a unique diversity of species that have so far avoided extinction, but are often reduced to small fragments of surviving forest. However, these forest patches cannot guarantee the long-term survival of niche-restricted and endemic species, especially as what forest remains continues to be destroyed.

For this reason, ProAves has focused its conservation efforts towards saving the last remnants of key habitat through our Protected Areas Program which has proved to be highly successful.
