Colombia heaven for Bio diversities

If Earth’s biodiversity were a country, it could be called Colombia. That’s because this nation of biological possessions, from snow-capped mountains to jungles to deserts, it is home to one of every 10 kinds of flora and fauna in the world. And with last year’s peace unity ending 60 years of civil war, Colombia is poised to become an ecotourism focus.

Peace through tourism is a slogan here; it’s becoming reality as some of the country’s 55 national parks, off-limits during the years of engagement, strike their gates open to local and international travellers—and fighters for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) become ecotourism soldiers. “Our goal for 2017, the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, has been to be a world leader in conservation through tourism,” says Sandra Howard Taylor, Colombia’s passionate vice minister of tourism.
