| description | Colombia has environmental conditions that favor the diversity of biological organisms and allow it to be considered a megadiverse country. Boyacá, a department of the country, has within its geographical and environmental characteristics altitudes ranging from 145 to 3,100 m above sea, which generates a scenario of thermal floors and ecosystems that facilitate the natural location of species of diverse fauna and flora. In addition, it has been recognized as one of the ten departments with the highest fauna extraction at national level. In another vein, illicit trafficking is the fourth illegal activity that moves the most money in the world (between 7,000 and 23,000 million US/year), with an alarming increase in the post-pandemic period. From this perspective, rescued, confiscated, or voluntarily surrendered fauna must be attended to standardized medical-surgical protocols and clinical ranges that are as specific as possible. In the temporary home of the Juan de Castellanos University Foundation, in agreement with Corpoboyaca, advances research processes are carried out both in the microbiology of mucous membranes, skin and appendages, as well as in resistance to antibiotics, cardiovascular physiology, biomarkers, imaging, behavioral pathology and animal welfare, on different taxa of the received wildlife, which are kept under professional care for a while in the transit home, to later be relocated or released according to their specific condition. |

Colombia cuenta con condiciones medioambientales que favorecen la diversidad en organismos biológicos y permiten que sea considerado como un país megadiverso. Boyacá, departamento del país, tiene dentro de sus características geográficas y ambientales altitudes que varían desde los 145 a los 3.100 msnm, lo que genera un escenario de pisos térmicos y ecosistemas que facilitan la ubicación natural de especies de fauna y flora diversas. Además, se ha detectado como uno de los diez departamentos de mayor extracción de fauna en el país. Por otra parte, el tráfico ilegal es el cuarto ilícito que más dinero mueve en el mundo (entre 7.000 y 23.000 millones US/año) y con un alarmante aumento en pospandemia. Desde esta óptica, la fauna que es rescatada, incautada o voluntariamente entregada, debe ser atendida con protocolos médico-quirúrgicos estandarizados y rangos clínicos lo más específicos posible. En el hogar de paso de la Fundación Universitaria Juan de Castellanos, en convenio con Corpoboyacá, se realizan procesos investigativos tanto en microbiología de mucosas, piel y anexos como en resistencia a antibióticos, fisiología cardiovascular, biomarcadores, imagenología, patología del comportamiento y bienestar animal, en diferentes taxones de la fauna silvestre que se recibe, los cuales son mantenidos bajo cuidado profesional por un tiempo en el hogar de paso, para posteriormente ser reubicados o liberados según su condición específica.
