On the banks of the Inírida river, the rocky hills of Mavicure ("mavi": tip of the blowpipe, and "cure" the poison applied to the dart), are composed of Pajarito (712 metres), Mono (480 metres) and Mavicure (170 metres). The three of them are sacred to the indigenous ethic groups of the Kurripaco, Puinave and Tukano that inhabit the area. In the picture we can see the Mono hill.

In Guainía in southern Colombia, one of the most biodiverse places on earth, a chemist, a zootechnician, and a biologist have partnered with the indigenous population to establish a sustainable beekeeping project. The honey produced demonstrates how it's possible to pollinate the world while simultaneously combating the effects of climate change.
