Thanks to citizen collaboration and the immediate action of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca (CAR), three species of wildlife that were at critical risk in different parts of the Gualivá region were rescued. The intervention had the support of the group of Carabineros of the National Police, who participated in addressing the cases reported by the community.

The first case was recorded in the municipality of Útica, where a pregnant deer of approximately four months was found in a state of extreme weakness. The animal had injuries caused by wire fences and difficulties moving. After receiving initial care from CAR professionals, the deer was transferred to the Wild Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Unit (URRAS), where it is provided with comprehensive care for its recovery and to guarantee the protection of its offspring.

In Nimaima, on the banks of the Tobia River, the Carabineros rescued a tayra that showed paralysis in its hind limbs, presumably due to a run over. The specimen was initially taken to the Gualivá Regional Directorate for preliminary evaluation and feeding, and later sent to the URRAS to continue its rehabilitation process.

The third rescue took place in the Villeta–Guaduas road corridor, where a sloth was at imminent risk of being run over. After an immediate evaluation carried out by CAR specialists, it was found that the specimen was in good health, so it was released in a nearby wooded area, ensuring its safe return to its natural habitat.

According to Ronald Prieto, director (e) of the Gualivá Regional CAR, the rescues were carried out with specialized professionals available 24 hours a day, which allows us to respond immediately to community reports and guarantee timely attention to the fauna at risk.

With these actions, the CAR seeks to address cases of animals at risk, reduce dangers related to human activity in rural and road areas, and maintain constant coordination with the community and authorities to protect wildlife in Cundinamarca.
