"I am coral. Some people think I’m just a rock… when in fact, I’m the largest thing alive on this planet. I’m so big I can be seen from space. But for how long? ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
I grew for almost 250 million years. Then humans came along and now 1/5 of me is gone. Sure, I live at the bottom of the sea, and you might not see me that often. But you do need me. Do you realize that 1/4 of all marine life depends on me? ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
I am the nursery of the sea. Little fish depend on me for food, and to hide from the big fish. And guess who eats the big fish? That’s right, you do." #ProtectOurHome ⠀

Each of these Colombian natural regions has unique landscapes, such as the Chocó rain forest in the Pacific, the multiple and drastic ecosystems in the Andes Mountains like the Seranía del Perijá or the Tatacoa Desert, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in the Caribbean Region, the Colombian savannas in the Llanos, and the Amazon Jungle.
