The animals

  • Ecuador is a country with one of the highest biodiversities in the world. It has in particular,more than 20 000 species of wild animals.

   Unfortunately this also makes Ecuador a victim of animal trafficking ...

 

  • 22.3% of these species are unique to this small country, especially thanks to the "biological treasures" which

  • are found in the Amazon Forest and the Galapagos Islands.

 

  • On the mainland of Ecuador , particularly in the coastal region, the species most affected, are monkeys, parrots , including macaws, parrots , turtles , amphibians, and snakes. Regarding the flora, a wide variety of wood and orchids are also affected by traffic.

 

  •  The animal trafficking is considered one of the most lucrative world of illegal activities, multi-billion each year, reaching ever higher levels.

 

Manabi is one of the most affected province by deforestation and ilegal hunting...
