La biodiversidad en la película Río

En este episodio exploramos la biodiversidad detrás de la película Río. Analizamos a las especies y ecosistemas de Brasil que inspiraron la historia, los peligros del tráfico de fauna y los enormes retos de conservar especies amenazadas como es el caso de las guacamayas azules. Cine y ciencia, dos cosas que nos encantan.
