Dear colleagues: I'm posting this message because we need all the help we can get with a running fundraising campaign to build a research station for the foundation Im currently directing.
Biodiversa Colombia Foundation was established in 2006 by a group of repatriates and highly trained Colombian ecologists; it is a local NGO that promotes conservation and sustainable development in Colombia. After many years of hard work, the Foundation was able to purchase some land (78 Ha) to establish a natural reserve in a region of high conservation priority in Colombia: the wetlands and rainforests of the middle Magdalena river Valley (State of Antioquia). This area has experience dramatic ecological changes in the last years despite being an area with wide variety of ecosystems that are highly diverse and host many critically endangered species. We just released a Crowd-funding campaign to build a research station in the reserve; this station will be a base camp for our research, conservation, awareness-raising and local community strengthening projects in the area. Any help will put us one step closer to make the station a reality.
