Extinction of Animals within the Yasuní National Park

The Yasuní National Park has been affected by several alterations and one of them is the extinction of the species of this park, the extinction of species can occur due to deforestation, illegal trade in species, poaching and burning of forests .

Most of these are caused by humans themselves. Deforestation affects animals since they feed on plants. The illegal trade in species occurs because hunters steal pocket monkeys and sell them.

 

Here are some examples:

OSO DE ANTEOJOS: It has yellow stripes around its eyes and this is its name. This animal is the victim of poaching for its skin, meat and fat

 

TAPIR AMAZÓNICO: It is persecuted for its skin, fat and nails.

CONDOR ANDINO: It is a valuable and majestic animal of our country, however hunters marry it by mistake.

 

EL PUMA: It has a slender figure with reddish fawn skin, they hunt it because they consider it dangerous to humans.

 

Human beings are to blame for the misfortunes of our national parks and the extinction of our animals. They are hunted by mistake for their skin or meat, in order to give as an offering, or because they consider them very dangerous for humanity.

Message: We must take care of the Yasuní National Park since it is a very important natural reserve and contains a great diversity of animals and is considered the lung of the world, we must take care of our nature.
