00:02It is one of the biggest aes voladoras in the world.
00:06The indigenous coconucos consider it sacred,
00:09as well as the stone where it is placed.
00:12But the majestuoso condor andino
00:14is in danger of extinction in Colombia
00:16and is almost threatened at global scale,
00:19according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
00:23For that, the Colombian scientists decided to make the first census of the species in the country.
00:27The importance of this census of the condor andino in Colombia
00:32is to know its population.
00:35We need to know how many condors are in the country
00:37and in which state they are.
00:40For able to tell them,
00:42the biologists appealed to the ancestral knowledge of the indigenous
00:45that consider the ave the messenger of the sun,
00:48alerta on future threats,
00:51anticipa changes in the climate
00:52and in the case of this traditional curandero,
00:54he has indicated, in dreams,
00:57recetas to heal sick.
00:59When the condor passes through these places,
01:01we give a message
01:02that if he approaches it is because we are well,
01:04well,
01:07spiritually,
01:07and if he approaches it is because we are well,
01:09in something we are falling.
01:11Quirá rocí carne
01:13and a rama of salvia
01:15with a infusion
01:16to attract the condor.
01:17Cerca
01:18there is a simulation
01:19that is installed by scientists
01:21for the scientists
01:21to tell the aves.
01:23A group of 300 volunteers,
01:25several of them indígenas,
01:27in a centenar of points of Colombia
01:29to raise the census,
01:31which is an initiative
01:32of the National Natural Resources
01:34and the Foundation Neotropical
01:36including other associations
01:38civiles ecológicas.
01:40For those indígenas
01:42in the south of the Andes,
01:43especially,
01:45the condor
01:46has a very important role
01:48in its cosmovision.
01:49It is the message of the sun
01:51and is very articulated
01:53in its mitological universe,
01:58and they are very interested
01:59in the conservation of the species.
02:01The main threat
02:03for its conservation
02:04is the expansion
02:05of the agriculture
02:06and the ganadería
02:07to the territories
02:08of the high mountain
02:09where they live.
02:11They are also affected
02:12by the animals
02:13because,
02:13although the aves
02:14are mostly carnivorous
02:16as well as
02:16they eat live
02:17or live animals
02:18or live.
02:19The species,
02:20that is monogamous,
02:21only put one
02:22every two or three years
02:24and is distributed
02:25from Venezuela
02:26to the south of Argentina
02:27and Chile.
02:28The experts
02:29estimate
02:30that there are
02:30around 130
02:31condors
02:32in the Andes
02:33Colombianos.
02:34The half
02:35were born in cautiverio
02:37and liberated
02:37in the Andes region
02:38andina.
02:39According scientists,
02:41the survey
02:41will allow
02:42future efforts
02:43to maintain
02:44a healthy balance
02:45between machos
02:46and females.
02:48No having
02:49that symbol
02:49is going to be
02:51a loss
02:51for our community.
02:54Pronto,
02:55thanks
02:55to the census,
02:56they will be
02:56as soon as
02:57as soon as
02:57as soon as
02:58a threat.
