“The publication, the result of a long and meticulous work of researchers and specialists from the public and private sector, also includes a list of 203 animals in a situation of vulnerability due to the decrease in their population”, said Andina News Agency.
Some of the threats these species face are related to the loss and degradation of the habitat, their capture for illegal trade, and the presence of invasive alien species.
Andina explains that the book will also serve as a tool for the authorities to establish and apply public policies that will ensure the conservation and responsible use of biodiversity and ecosystems.
