Colombia a country of natural wonder.

Colombia biodiversity.

Is defined as the variability of living organisms from any source, including terrestrial and marine ecosystems and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; it includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems. Colombia is the second richest in species around the world country, after Brazil, which has more species, in one area seven times larger. On average, one in ten species of fauna and flora in the Word, lives e n Colombia

Colombia is a country full of many wild species which makes it be a country of natural marvels in flora and fauna due to his geographical, this position bathed by two seas and many rivers, which makes it have all the thermal floors of the climate, finding from deserts up to perpetual snow, being the country more diversely for square meter, which offers to us a great number of resources for the exploitation ecotourism.

Colombia is a country privileged by its natural wealth, the variety and beauty of its geography and by the diversity of its ecosystems: It has the two oceans: the Atlantic and the Pacific, that add more than 2,900 kilometers of coast and in which is a series of beautiful islands. Three mountainous mountain ranges or chains: the Western one, the Power station and the Eastern one, with snowed, volcanos, plateaus, savannahs and valleys. In Colombia many water sources exist: streams, gorges, brooks and rivers; there are, in addition, innumerable lakes, bogs and wetlands, In Colombia are some of the rainiest zones of the planet. For being a tropical country and to have earth from the border of the sea to very high mountains, Colombia counts on diversity of landscapes and great variety of climates (warm, tempering, cold and very cold).

Natural regions of Colombia:

The Caribbean: she is most extensive of Colombia, not as much by its terrestrial surface as by its marine surface. this region, that begins in spurs of Andean mountain ranges, limits with the greater Antilles, panama hat and Nicaragua (to that a failure of the cut of is it yielded part to him of the territorial sea.)

The ecosystems coralline own of the coasts and the insular zone are important part of this region of the continent, because they exist the greater biodiversity in marine environment there, becoming the points of repopulation oceanic.

The following one is a compilation of information or rather, small ready but representative of the flora and the Colombian fauna that we organize for departments. We hope that this list grows instead of diminishing.
