SummaryHarrisson, a 17-year-old Colombian with a passion for ornithology, devotes his time to observing and protecting birds. With his French friend Mateo, he is part of the “Guardians of the Birds”, a group of adolescents committed to the knowledge and preservation of the avifauna in the aptly named “Land of the Birds”. While a large international gathering of enthusiasts is being prepared, the two friends must present a film and a photographic exhibition. In search of new images, they set off to meet other committed young people who have been able to develop sustainable economic models based on the protection of biodiversity. Between passion for living things and hope for a more responsible future, the film draws an inspiring proposition carried by a new generation. Colombia, “land of birds” With more than 2,000 species recorded, or nearly 20% of the world's species, Colombia is the country with the largest number of birds in the world. This richness is explained by the extraordinary diversity of its ecosystems: tropical forests, wetlands, Andean mountains, mangroves and even savannahs. Despite this abundance, many species remain threatened by deforestation, urbanization and climate change. The development of ornithological ecotourism (birdwatching) today constitutes a major avenue for reconciling the protection of biodiversity and economic development.MURIEL BARRAFor a long time aware of the urgency of raising public awareness of the societal and environmental issues of our time, she created the company Lato Sensu Productions (in 2004) with the objective of producing activist and committed documentaries on these themes.Delegated producer of the entire catalog of Lato films Sensu, she works regularly for French and international channels.
