Animals in danger of

extinction in Colombia

Have you known some animal that no longer

exists?

POISON FROG OF CAUCA

This species only lives in the valley of Cauca

gender frogs are very small but now there are

very few

El bocachico The National

University of

Colombia did an

analysis about the

bocachico fish from

Sinú River and its

marshes, and

determined that is in

serious danger of

extinction.

This kind of fish is

being affected by

overfishing,

pollution, cultivation

of other species

Giant armadillo

It's uncommon species of the Amazon and Orinoco,

it's nocturnal, solitary and terrestrial, is found in

unlogged forest near watercourses

Have you ever encountered with this animal?

We care

Andean night monkey

Is a nocturnal primate that lives in the Andean

forests of Colombia and Venezuela. Is a

threatened species by hunters.

Catfish striped

Their existence is in danger to though is

an ecological regulator. These could

disappear in a few years.

Hawksbill Turtle

Have you seen an Hawksbill Turtle already?

Is a species of sea turtle Chelonia family but are in critically

endangered. It is the only species of the genus Eretmochelys.

Yellow-eared Parrot

There are only a few in the departments of

Tolima and Antioquia. Hunters sell them to

foreigners and drug dealers.

If we don't improve environmental

conditions and we care the animals,

these will be in danger of disappearing

soon.

Personal Opinion

I totally disagree with government

because they don't improve or solve the

problem.

Definitely is the responsibility of

parents and teachers teach to the new

generations in the care and protection

of the Colombian fauna.

possible

animals?
