Por Qué el Galapago Llanero está en Peligro

Welcome to a new episode of Against the Clock! In this installment, we dive into the waters of the Llanos plains to discover one of the most fascinating and, at the same time, least known species of our fauna: the Orinoco Turtle (Podocnemis vogli). Join us on this journey to the heart of the Llanos biodiversity where, together with renowned biologists Omar Hernández (Director of FUDECI) and Carlos Alvarado, we explore the secrets of this turtle's life. How does it survive extreme droughts? What is its crucial role in the ecosystem? And most importantly: why is its conservation a race against time? In this episode you will learn: ✅ Who the Podocnemis vogli really is and how to distinguish it from other turtles. ✅ The challenges facing its natural habitat in the Colombian-Venezuelan savannas. ✅ Anecdotes and scientific findings from experts with decades of experience. ✅ What can we do to protect this species "forgotten" by scientific research?
