Biodiversity in Colombia: How much do you know?

September 11, 2022 is National Biodiversity Day. This is an opportunity to reflect on our behaviour as citizens towards the environment and take action to help protect Colombia´s environmental wealth. 

One of the reasons why the National Biodiversity Day is commemorated on September 11 is to remember José Celestino Mutis, who died on September 11, 1808 and who, with the Botanical Expedition, left behind a significant collection of plants that are a remarkable basis for Colombian’s biodiversity national inventory.
