There are many wonderful countries all over the world that have a variety of plants, landscape, animals and reptiles. But many do not know that the second country in the whole wide world that has the high biologically diverse is Colombia. Colombia has a variety of climates, it could be sunny in one place and another there is snow, also many types of birds, reptiles, about 456 different types of mammals, the number one country producer of flowers and many others. But also Colombia's quest to enlarge the economy has caused to the destruction of the beautiful forests at a rate of 1.5 to 2.2 million acres a year. As some may know Colombia is not the richest country, and there is a low rate of jobs and money. Also all this action of deforestation it has been illegal and caused many forest mainly in the Amazon to be left with no natural environments. According to the World Resources Institute, Colombia is not just letting this happen, Colombia is the leading the Latin American country in taking action for put a stop to this. The neighbor country Venezuela and Colombia has bind mining, logging and other activities that hurt this biodiversity. I also fount a table of LATIN AMERICAN ECONOMIC SYSTEM and it shows the fisheries and aquaculture production and trade, I saw that it alot of the Latin American countries rate of exports to the US has been growing in a high rate, maybe it it keeps growing it will help 3rd world countries.high rate, my Hopefully one day not only Colombia but the whole world learns to appreciate the beauty of nature.
Here is a website from the University of California where i got some information and the table and also a video.(you might want to fast-forward the video to maybe 4:20)
