The environmental authority vehemently rejects what happened to a pelican in the municipality of Fonseca.

The Regional Autonomous Corporation of La Guajira - Corpoguajira- calls on the community to preserve and respect the species and in turn vehemently rejects what happened in the municipality of Fonseca with a pelican that was attacked with stones and despite efforts to save it, the animal died due to serious injuries.
The Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), it is not migratory, it is a rather sedentary species where most of the adults remain all year round near the place where they nest. It is brown in color and is known as alcatraz.
Until now, it is unknown how this coastal seabird came to this sector. The environmental authority began investigations to clarify whether the bird was disoriented on its flight or was in captivity in a nearby place..
