A Tiny Piece of Colour

By Laura Valeria Quiroga

Only 10% of the planet’s territory hosts more than 70% of biodiversity. Colombia occupies the first positions in different species and reminds us what apparently the contemporary man has forgotten: The universal meaning of Biodiversity.

Metaphor used:

In this metaphor through the white sheets and their empty spaces the percentage of the territory of the planet that does not belong to the mega-diverse nations. With the coloured leaves, the first positions and percentages in the flora and fauna species of the biodiversity of Colombia are highlighted, which is the second nation in the ranking after Brazil, which occupies the first place for its size. In another case, Colombia would occupy the first place for its diverse eco-systems. This makes the country unique and worthy of caring, valued and admired by all.
