This innovative editorial essay, based on the original video of the documentary Colombia, magia salvaje and using its images for the first time in a large-format book, showcases the country's impressive biodiversity, while warning about the threats it faces, with the aim of generating environmental awareness that, through education, promotes a national commitment to its defense.The journey of more than 125,000 kilometers — from the Caribbean to the Amazon, from the Pacific to the Llanos, including the island territories — reveals more than 20 ecosystems teeming with life and a country that many had not suspected. And it is understandable: by living in it, we often forget that it hosts the second greatest biodiversity on the planet.Like the film, the book is read from surprise to surprise. Birds and hammerhead sharks in Malpelo and Gorgona; crab invasions in Providencia; humpback whales in Utría; capybaras, jaguars, and anacondas in Amazonas; colossal crocodiles in the Orinoco; condors in Cocuy and Puracé; birds and frogs in the rainy Chocó jungle; chromatic colors in Caño Cristales; sudden tepuis, unpublished paintings, and suspicions of cultures yet unseen in Chiribiquete. And in the Sierra Nevada, Nabuzimake, the sacred town of the Arhuacos.This is the Colombia we show to reaffirm our affection and to be able to defend it from the abusive exploitation of its woods, harmful illicit crops, destructive illegal mining, infamous wildlife trafficking, and the ruthless devastation of its forests.The result of interdisciplinary work, this project — which included a whole Colombian component of music, voices, texts, and experience — should bear fruit. We therefore hope that this book will benefit our nature.
