Hello Tim,
The Foundation Omacha is a non profit, non government organization created to
study, research, protect and manage aquatic fauna in relation to the physical
and cultural environment. The research and activities of the Foundation can be
summed up in three main programs (bio-ecological, social-cultural and
educational) which, taken together, provide the basis for conservation
strategies.
The Foundation has projects in the Amazon, Orinoco and on
the Caribbean coast of Colombia. In the Orinoco we are undertaking five
different projects with river dolphins, giant otters, fishes, turtles and
caimans.
We have observed a lot of interesting things in our research,
especially in the giant otter project. We learned a lot
|
from a rescued baby
otter. It seems that his family was hunted to be sold as pets.
I will
send you a brief summary of the project as soon as possible. I am very
interested in trying to get an article into the Natural History Magazine. I
have prepared it and I will send it to you later.
Best Wishes,
Maria Claudia Diazgranados
Omacha Foundation
