On Monday, August 10, 2026, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia, with its epicenter near San José del Palmar in the Chocó department. The tremor was felt as far away as Bogotá and caused significant damage across Cali, Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó and many surrounding communities. As of the latest official updates, more than 265 people have died, thousands more have been injured, and over 25,800 families have been affected. These numbers continue to change as rescue and recovery efforts continue, and our thoughts are with everyone impacted.

At Jaguarundi Travel, this hits close to home. Chocó is one of Earth's most biodiverse rainforests and a region we have explored with travelers for years. The people who make nature tourism possible there and across the affected areas, the guides, lodge owners, reserve caretakers and their families, are part of our extended community. We are deeply concerned for their wellbeing and committed to supporting their recovery.

This is not the first time this community has had to come together. During the pandemic, birding companies across Colombia formed Birders Together to support the people whose livelihoods depend on this industry: guides, lodges, reserves and their families. Once again, we are uniting. Together with the wider birding tourism community, we are inviting all of our friends, colleagues and fellow travelers to donate and help those affected. You can contribute directly at vaki.co/en/vaki/birders-together

It is a difficult moment, but the Colombian birding community is already working to stand back up. Guides are checking in on one another, lodges are assessing what is needed, and preparations are underway to welcome travelers again. One of the most meaningful ways you can help right now is by choosing not to cancel your trip. If you have an upcoming visit planned, please reach out to us or to whoever you booked with to confirm everything is on track. Tourism is one of the strongest forms of support for the local economy and for the communities working to recover.

Colombia's birds, its landscapes and its people are resilient, and they are ready to welcome you. Thank you for being part of this community, and once again, we come together.

Our participation at the Global Wildlife Fair in India was a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded organizations, build valuable partnerships, and showcase the natural beauty of Colombia and our conservation efforts.

Following the event, we joined a FAM tour through Gujarat, gaining meaningful insights into the region’s wildlife and culture. From the salt desert of the Little Rann of Kutch, where Indian Wild Ass (Equus hemionus khur), herds roam freely, to sightings of Asiatic lion cubs (Panthera leo persica) in Gir National Park, and the open grasslands of Velavadar, alive with blackbucks (Antilope cervicapra) and harriers, each landscape revealed a distinct facet of India’s biodiversity.

Our appreciation goes to Tourism Gujarat and Asian Adventures for their coordination and efforts to highlight the region’s tourism potential.

Until about 1900 the Santa Marta Sabrewing was described as fairly common, and it was recorded intermittently until 1946. It was not recorded again until 2010 and was then again "lost" until 2022, when its survival was confirmed by photographic evidence of an individual male found by chance. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species originally assessed the Santa Marta sabrewing as Near Threatened, then in 2000 as Endangered, and since 2020 as Critically Endangered. It has a very small range and is thought to number fewer than 50 mature individuals. About 85% of the original vegetation within its range has been destroyed by logging and conversion to agriculture, grazing, and human habitation. What remains is degraded and fragmented.

Today, we had an amazing surprise when Raupers recorded this beautifull Santa Marta Saberwing male with during one of birding tours in the Santa Marta Mountains at

We are very happy about this new record.

The Velvet-purple Coronet, a medium-sized hummingbird, appears to be blackish in dim lighting. However, when viewed from the correct angle, it transforms into a stunning gem with a purple belly and crown, turquoise sides, and greenish wing coverts. Observe the bright white flashes in its tail. Like other coronets, this bird raises its wings for a brief moment when it lands, revealing its rich chestnut underwings. Both males and females have similar appearances. The species has a limited distribution in western Colombia and Ecuador, where it is generally uncommon in moist cloud forests and edges within the lower subtropical zone.
