In Medellín, a significant effort to combat illegal wildlife trade has led to the rescue of 239 animals so far this year. The Centro de Atención, Valoración y Rehabilitación (CAVR) of the Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá has addressed both seizures and voluntary surrenders, underscoring the issue’s magnitude. Tortoises, among others, have been most affected.
Medellín Confronts Wildlife Trafficking: Over 200 Animals Rescued This Year
Since 2018, I have lived in Medellín. My role as a digital nomad over the past decade initially brought me to the city, and I quickly became fond of it during a three-month stay. Beyond the pleasant climate, I appreciate Medellín's green environment and the nearby charming villages with unique microclimates. My interests include travel, exploring diverse cuisines, and studying history. I hope this website will enable me to share my experiences and offer insights to those curious about Medellín and Colombia.
