ANIMAL EXTINCTION IN YASUNI PARK

The Yasuní National Park has a wide variety of biodiversity in flora and fauna, it also has great minerals such as: oil, copper, gold, etc. For this reason, in recent years there have been 5,200 species of animals and plants are in danger of extinction, due to the illegal trafficking of species, the exploitation of minerals and deforestation in the park.

I believe that the main causes of the extinction of species are us humans because there are unscrupulous people who have no conscience in cutting down trees to exploit oil and damage the habitat of animals. For example, the animal that is in danger of extinction is the black caiman (Caiman niger), the constant decrease in its populations is mainly due to hunting.

Some people capture animals that they say are attractive and can survive any change, to kill them by removing their skin and making the blissful fur coats, rugs and nonsense but behind that there are many heartbreaking and sad animal stories.

My conclusion is that it would be good to put a little bit of each one so that every day the situation improves in this 2020 that we are in a COVID-19 pandemic, let us raise awareness and when we see someone who is mistreating and exploiting minerals without authorization, we denounce for avoid so many misfortunes.

MESSAGE: Let's fight and defend our beautiful heritage that we possess, that is what Ecuador lives from tourism. Our animals that exist here are unique in the world, that's why we take care of this park that is virgin land.
