Audubon Virtual Speaker Series

Please join us  for a special GGAS Travel Program Speakers Series Zoom talk. Our presenter will be Christopher Calonje, who founded Colombia Birdwatch in 2009 to promote sustainable tourism in his native Colombia.

Boasting an eBird list of 276 species, Araucana is like a little version of Colombia itself, the birdiest country on earth, with 1,930 species—almost 20% of the world’s total in 1% of its landmass, with new species still being discovered and new records being announced regularly. It is easy to see why. Colombia is tropical yet it also has ample elevation changes due to the Andes; furthermore it has both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Lots of different habitats ensure an abundance of bird species.
