Abstract

Jimba Kush or mountain horse is what the Nasa Wesh community (indigenous Paez people of the Central Colombian Cordillera), call the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque). This indigenous group migrated to the Tolima department from the Cauca Department in the south of Colombia about a century ago. The Nasa Wesh community has lived closely with this species, now endangered due to natural resource exploitation.
