Colombia's birding tour companies have come together to create a fund to help the most vulnerable members of the birdwatching community in the country.

Due to Covid 19 all the tours that were scheduled for 2020 have been cancelled, leaving all the local birding guides and sites with no income for the foreseeable future.

We believe that by working together, and reaching out to our friends, clients and the wider birding community, we can create a movement to help those who need it most.

If we reach our goal, we will be able to help approximately 150 families.

Any contribution will be gratefully received and will help us achieve our goal.
