Flora and Fauna of Colombia
Here, where the Pacific, Amazonian, Caribbean, and grassy lowland regions or Orniquian regions meet, the landscapes are a cornucopia of towering canopy trees, snow-capped peaks, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, rainforests, dry forests, cloud forests, and other habitats. While world-renowned for its variety in bird species, Colombia also has an extraordinary diversity of amphibians and mammals, as well as orchids and butterflies. Its amphibious wildlife includes anocados and boas among all wild snake, while lethal dart frogs vividly color the forest, with giant capybaras eating.. the species are increased by the fact it is surrounded by the towering Andes mountains, grassy lowlands, Amazon rainforests, and much more including the stunning selection of orchids adorning the florists shops here.
The Government of Colombia
Colombia is run by a republic system of government as opposed to the United States democratic government system. Colombia's biggest trading partner is the United States, which buys 40 percent of the country's exports. Colombia sends a variety of items overseas, including coffee, bananas, oil, coal, gold, platinum, and emeralds. One of Colombia's worst exports, though, is illegal drugs. With help from the United States, the Colombian government is carrying out Plan Colombia, a costly and wide-ranging effort to rid the country of the gangs, called cartels, that produce illegal drugs for sale around the world.
