WHY is this important ?


The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is home to more than 600 species of birds: 35% of the bird biodiversity of Colombia. Santa Marta contains the highest concentration of 36 endemic bird species found on the planet.

According to the Secretariat of Health of Santa Marta, there are more than 55,000 dogs and cats in Santa Marta and the surrounding areas. We must recognize that these animals have impacts on our environment; they constitute one of the greatest threats to biodiversity.

Abandoned animals live in poor conditions. Public intervention is urgent in order to control or treat the animal population. Therefore, we believe that our pets should be sterilized, reducing the negative impact that they not only cause in our environment but also for themselves.
