“I want to thank the whole ProAves team for their participation in the meeting held last month. It is very rewarding and encouraging for me to see a solid, compact team with common goals. From all accounts the meeting was a success, we have set clear goals that will guide our way this year, know each other and the work areas of our colleagues, their achievements and difficulties; this activity strengthens us internally reflecting our deep commitment to environmental and materializing outside the daily work. I am very satisfied with its commitment to the conservation of the birds of Colombia and the Foundation ProAves. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION we will see each other next year! “Alonso Quevedo Gil. Executive Director, Foundación ProAves .
