Bolivian Víctor Hugo García won the “Facebook Favorite” award in the seventh photo contest for beneficiaries of the Alliance Fund for Critical Ecosystems (CEPF) for his photo of a critically endangered bird in Madidi National Park. More than 200 images from 19 different countries were submitted.
The bird is known as Cinclodes aricomae or k’achili grande (local name), and can be found in patches of kewiña forests in the La Paz region of Bolivia and in the extreme southeast of Peru.
On his first trip to Madidi Park, Gracia “heard this bird sing and patiently stayed to wait. In that, the bird "landed on the rock and watched me for a few seconds as if welcoming me.”
