The foundation

FEDIC FAUNA is a non-profit foundation created in december 2025 by a team of swiss and colombian biologists.

The foundation was created in response to an urgent need to raise awareness among local communities in rural and remote regions of Colombia about the intrinsic and biological value of native wildlife, as well as the threats these species face.

A central challenge is that much of Colombia’s fauna remains poorly studied—making it impossible to protect or teach about species we do not yet fully understand.

Our mission therefore operates on three interconnected fronts: education, scientific research, and active conservation, working jointly to advance the long-term protection and well-being of Colombia’s wildlife.

Our mission

To study and actively protect wildlife and its habitats, generating rigorous scientific knowledge and promoting public awareness and engagement to ensure their long-term conservation.
