Sky Islands: A time travel of the Andes Mountains is a 3D animation and phothograpy to envision one chapter of the ecological history of the Northern Andes Mountains of South America. In the times we are living today, the anthropogenic global warming is affecting not only our human species but also the whole species and inhabitants of the planet Earth. For this reason, this project seeks to visualize how the Paramos ecosystem in the Andes mountains took at least 2 million years of evolution. This visualization opens a door to travel in a time machine, from the Latest Pliocene to the Anthropocene as a first step toward opening minds of its importance, to implant a concern and post a question: Are we still on time to protect an extraordianry ecosystem, a refuge of unique diversification and a hotspot of biodiversity in the world?
