Project reintroduces alpacas to the mountainous border region of Ecuador and Colombia
Mar 20, 2023
The alpacas have returned to the mountains that separate Colombia and Ecuador thanks to a binational project that seeks to repopulate these border territories with one of the most emblematic camelids of the Andes.
Within the framework of this initiative, a binational convention on alpaca breeding was held this Friday between the two communities involved in the project, which is financed by the Andean Community of Nations, with a contribution of more than $55,000 from Seed capital.
The meeting was held in the community of El Mirador de los Pastos, located on the Ecuadorian side and promoter of this project that has as a partner the Colombian indigenous reservation of Panama.
“The project was born from a proposal prepared by a group of young people from the community, based on the needs of the beneficiary communities,” said veterinarian Katy Pinduisaca, who is the director of this binational initiative.
