Dublin (Oct 21/2021) As part of the Plan to Promote Colombia Abroad, the Embassy will present a selection of films from the documentary series Colombia Bio, in collaboration with the UCD Earth Institute and the UCD Biological Society. The opening event took place on 21st October and included the participation of Colombian biologist and birding guide Diego Calderón in conversation with ornithology expert Dr. Adam Kane, from the School of Biology and Environmental Studies in UCD.
The animated conversation revolved around birding and documentary filming as a great vehicle to communicate science and environmental protection.
