Endangered Birds...!!!
The constant damage of a great number of species’ habitat is
the main threat for their extinction.
The deforestation of mounts and jungle, mainly in our
Yungas in order to gain fields for the cultivation; the Indiscriminate
deforestation of the Paranaense jungle and its replacement for wood
supplying exotic species; the Pampas grassland replaced by cultivation and
human location, are some of the most dramatic examples in the transformation
and damage of the environment.
The marine birds are also victim of accidental hunting
due to the fishing activity which is very common in our southern seas.
GLOBALLY THEREATENED SPECIES
In a global scale the 12% of bird species are in Endangered (1,186 out of 9800).
In Argentina, the nearly 1,000 species present, 19 species are "critically
endangered", 52 "endangered", 88 are "threatened" and 103 are considered
"vulnerable." Only 72% of species in our country are considered as "not
threatened".
ENDANGERED
SPECIES...!!!
The illegal trade of flora and fauna species is one of the main causes of their
extinction. It yields million of dollars to those who are in the illegal traffic
of wild species, and it has been the main concern of Governments and
Conservation Organizations for years.
In 1975, the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora,
known with the acronym
CITES,
was created. Its aim is to avoid the international trade of endangered species.
For that a number of Appendixes were
written in which are listed these species and their grade of
vulnerability. At the present, there are 165 countries which have
joined as members to the Convention. Argentina joined in
1981.
ENDEMIC
SPECIES
In Argentina there are 16 endemic species. They are those which
only live inside our country. This unique richness has been bequeathed to us and
it has to be our main concern to preserve them. For that, it is necessary to
protect the environment that shelters these species.

ENDANGERED SPECIES
The Global Program about Endangered Species of
BirdLife International gathers information
about globally endangered species and offers solutions for their preservation,
becoming countries at different decision levels aware of adopting measures for
their sustainability.
The natural rate of extinction of birds is
one species per century. Only in the last thirty years, 21 species of birds have
become extinct. Currently, 190 are classified as Critically Endangered and are
on the brink of extinction. Without immediate action, many of them will not be
here in ten years.

Preventing Extinctions of BirdLife

The "Categorización
de las Aves Argentinas, segun su estado de conservación" includes
species "critically
endangered", "endangered",
"threatened",
"vulnerable",
"no
threat" and "insufficiently
known". Birds that are located in the
first category may disappear in coming years unless we take urgent action for
conservation.
