五色河:流动的彩虹
位于哥伦比亚心脏地带的马卡雷纳国家及生态保护区,拥有世界上其中一条最美丽的河流——五色河。由于内战,这条色彩斑斓的河流曾经与外界隔绝接近60年,却因而保护了当地的独特动植物免受外界影响。
五色河呈现出的多种色彩是由于这区一种特有的水生植物。这种植物在营养物质贫乏而清澈透亮的河水中,直接生长在岩石之上。多亏这种植物,河中才有鱼、龟、蛇、鬣蜥甚至侏儒凯门鳄栖息。河岸上生活着41种哺乳类动物及鸟类,但五色河正受到降雨量减少、森林砍伐及石油公司试图在这个地区开彩石油的威胁。

The La Macarena National and Ecological Reserve Park, located in the heart of Colombia, is home to one of the most beautiful rivers in the world: the Caño Cristales. Due to the civil war, this river of five colors was cut off from the outside world for nearly 60 years. However, it shelters a unique fauna and flora.
Its red, pink and green colors are explained by an aquatic plant that is found only in this part of the world. It grows directly on the rock in a crystal clear water, very poor in nutrients. Thanks to it, the river is populated by fish, turtles, snakes, iguanas and even dwarf caimans. 41 species of mammals inhabit the banks, from squirrel monkeys to felines, tapirs, peccaries, tamanduas, as well as many birds. All of them depend on this river which is now threatened by the decrease of rainfall and the deforestation for the benefit of the cattle. An oil company has even tried to drill in the area to exploit the hydrocarbons but the local population has vehemently opposed it.
