In today’s blog we want to take some time to reflect on the celebration of Earth month. This month I had the opportunity to visit several places as part of some personal consultancies as well as part of the activities that Zocay Project is doing at the moment. These activities have made me reflect on the impacts we individually have on our planet and the efforts people in different regions are making to protect the native flora and fauna, especially in areas where developing activities are around them impacting the same flora and fauna they want to conserve. Looking at their commitment and how some of them have changed the way they see native wildlife now that they understand their importance for ecosystems and for their quality of life, make me think that we have hope for the future of our planet but at the same time make me wonder if there is still time to save what we have left.

I also want to celebrate Earth month, that by the way we should celebrate all year around not one day or month, by recognizing the responsibility that my work and the work of Zocay Project does every day to understand how monkeys and sometimes other wildlife persist in landscapes in which human activities are prevalent. It is amazing sometimes how flexible plants and animals are and how wonderful nature is by itself and its capacity to recover despite the effects our activities have on them. However, we are really pushing Earth limits to its resilience, and it seems we forget that we only have this one planet to live on, I just hope we still have time to reverse some of the effects of our activities. Let’s celebrate the beauty and resilience of Nature and the Orinoquia region in Colombia and all its wildlife today and every day.
