An early warning for better planning of agricultural expansion and biodiversity conservation in the Orinoco high plains of Colombia

“The eastern high plains of the Orinoco region in Colombia are known as 'Altillanura'. They are considered the future agricultural frontier of Colombia. Unfortunately, an agricultural expansion without taking in consideration areas of high biodiversity and conservation of fragile ecosystems that are ecologically irreplaceable will likely fail in providing a sustainable grow[th]. An orderly management planning of the territory based on scientific evidence is currently lacking for this region.”
