The Reality Reports

A Global Leader In Bird Diversity: Colombia is widely recognized as the country with the greatest number of bird species on Earth. Scientists have recorded more than 1,800 species within its borders, representing roughly 20 percent of all known bird species worldwide. This remarkable diversity makes Colombia a top destination for birdwatchers, researchers, and nature lovers. From hummingbirds smaller than a thumb to large soaring condors, the country’s skies and forests support an extraordinary range of wildlife. Bird diversity is not just a statistic. It reflects healthy ecosystems and rich natural habitats that support life at many levels.

A Planet With A Long Memory: Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and life has existed on it for more than 3.5 billion years. During that time, countless species have appeared, evolved, and disappeared. Scientists estimate that more than 99.9% of all species that ever lived on Earth are now extinct. This means nearly all forms of life that once existed no longer survive today.
