Español

ProAves research development occurs in the following Reserves:
Research is the basis of everything we do:

ProAves has worked with 78% of the total threatened species in critical, endangered and vulnerable states of extinction in Colombia and our goal is to continue and increase research activities, so that effective conservation actions of at least 95% of Colombia’s threatened bird species.

The work carried out so far would not be possible without the support of our donors, the environmental entities that work in the area and the communities that have always been enthusiastically linked to each of our projects.

WE KEEP:
0%

1,335 of the 1,966 species existing in Colombia

0%

115 of the 157 almost endemic species recorded in the country

0%

66 of the 86 species endemic to Colombia

0%

126 migratory species, boreal and austral, of the 200 species registered in the country

0%

82 of the 107 terrestrial (non-marine) species, globally threatened in Colombia
