bia is the second most biodiverse country in
world, after Brazil. This is because of the variety
offerent ecosystems like tropical forests, mountain
tats, grasslands, páramos, and deserts. Amphibians,
birds and plants are just some of the species that make
up a large part of Colombia's biodiversity. In fact,
Colombia is known for having more bird species than any
other country, with more than 1900 species.
Now for the sad news; Colombia is facing a major
ecological problem because of illegal logging, the
agricultural industry, the mining industry, cocaine
production and the development of hydro-electricity
energy resources. Deforestation costs the country
2.000 km of forest each year and this figure is rising.
The areas with the highest deforestation rates include
Caquetá in the Amazon region and Antioquia in the
Andes mountains, while there
have been major rises in
deforestation in Putumayo and
Norte de Santander in the past
few years.
Deforestation has many negative
effects on the environment,
including habitat loss, a decrease
in biodiversity, the extinction
of animal and plant species, soil erosion, air pollution.
There are many others, too. Today, almost one-third
of Colombia's original forest has been destroyed by
deforestation, so as you can imagine, this is a serious
problem and urgent action is required. It is a problem
that affects us all, so please, educate yourselves and take
action now. Who knows, tomorrow might be too late!
