Abstract
[Excerpt from introduction] Colombia is one of the world's megadiverse nations, hosting nearly 10% of Earth's biodiversity. It holds the record for the highest diversity of bird species globally, with nearly 2,000 species, including over 200 migratory and more than 80 endemic species (Colombia | Audubon, s. f.). However, this megadiversity is threatened by habitat loss due to agricultural expansion; this issue is especially critical in tropical biodiversity hotspots like the Andes, where extensive land conversion to agriculture has led to significant declines in resident Andean species and migratory taxa (Gonzalez et al., in press).
