Andean condors: From fear to coexistence

In a remote Colombian village, a conservationist leads a grassroots effort to protect Andean condors, transforming a community's fear into coexistence.

Doris Torres, once viewing Andean condors as a threat to her sheep, has become a conservationist after learning about the species' importance. Her efforts, supported by the Parque Jaime Duque Foundation, have helped bring the condors back from the brink of extinction.

Community action has shifted the relationship from conflict to coexistence, turning former adversaries into protectors and establishing a safe haven for one of Colombia's most threatened birds of prey.
