Tropic, the nature of Colombia

Also available in Spanish with the title: Tropic Visions of Colombian Nature

Everything in this book is an incitement. The formidable geography of the Colombian tropics "where plates, floras and faunas of the three American subcontinents, the two largest oceans in the world and the most variegated mountains converge" is the domain of biodiversity and excess: everything in the tropics is bewitching and magical. And that is, precisely, the testimony that, after 15 years of photographic work, Aldo Brando, a wildlife documentary filmmaker, presents to us in this book, who, through a convincing vital argument, delves into the beauty and soul of this tropic to promote, among others, the conservation of their ecosystems. Throughout its pages, the revelations of this dazzling visual repertoire take the reader from astonishment to astonishment before a world that, although they sensed it, they had not seen captured in such a committed way. With texts by Arturo Guerrero, this volume brings presentations by Germán Arciniegas, Sir Ghillean Prance and Art Wolfe, and an afterword by William Ospina.
