Middle Magdalena

Magdalena Medio is a region in which forests and wetlands, still conserved, are home to a high biological diversity. There, wild flora and fauna are represented in more than 150 mammal species, more than 630 bird species, more than 120 reptile species, more than 50 amphibian species, more than 120 fish species and more than 4000 vascular plant (plants with seeds and ferns) species. Many of those plants and animals live only in the Magdalena Medio and are not found anywhere else on the planet. Therefore, their conservation is a priority.
