'Cocaine hippos' — that’s what people in Colombia call the hippos once owned by the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. After his death, their population exploded, and they have become one of the country’s biggest environmental threats.Local authorities are already ready to take drastic measures, including the euthanasia of dozens of individuals. Animal rights activists and especially the tourism industry are against it. After all, the 'cocaine behemoths' attract tourists from all over the world to the region.
Our documentary team in Colombia is currently filming a new project on this story. A short preview from the shoot is already available. Stay tuned so you don’t miss the premiere!
