Birdwatching for Peace

Description
Kidnapped by the FARC guerrillas whilst birding, Diego Calderon may just be Colombia's most famous birder.
This week on the Colombia Calling podcast, Calderon sits down with myself and journalist Natalia Malaver, to discuss how birding in Colombia can be a tool for reconciliation, his experience of being kidnapped, what the peace accord with the FARC means and all sorts of information about birdwatching in Colombia.
Tune in for this and the Colombia News brief reported by journalist Emily Hart.
