Birds of Casanare

No matter how many times you visit it, Colombia, the quintessential repository of magnanimous biodiversity, has the powerful charm of bringing us new surprises on each visit.a.

This book is dedicated to the birds of Casanare, one of the departments of our Eastern Plains, where almost four hundred species of birds have been recorded historically, most of them associated with floodplains.. Such is the importance of the avifauna present in these ecosystems.The floodable savannahs, which need the landscape beauty of the area, are also water regulators, exporters of nutrients and reservoirs of diversity.In this privileged region capybaras, anteaters, anacondas, alligators abound, to mention a few and, of course, birds, spectacular and unexpected birds, of which the two hundred fresh and spontaneous images that this book offers bear witness.e.

¡Murray Cooper's dazzle with the Casanare is simply contagious!

It happens when he, photographer and author of this book, believing he has seen everything there is to see in Colombian nature, sets foot again in this region, nestled in the Orinoquia, and surrenders to its landscapes, its people and its fauna.

But this wonderful ecology also faces threats.Hence, it is imperative to reconcile development and conservation in its management.The beauty embodied here should move us to it.¡Let's also get infected with this effort!
