The group with the highest extraction pressure are the Mountain Tapir (Tapirus pinchaque), giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), pastusa frog (Atelopus sernai), Palorosa (Aniba rosaeodora) and the amanicus turkey. The seizures were made mainly in the Bordoncillo moorland, because it is a town where the migration routes of residents of the different sectors of the department and because it is the exit route to Ecuador. Traffic has increased in the last three years due to the lack of development of environmental education and permanent outreach programs; and in turn, by the pandemic. BOSQUE COLOMBIANO ORG, together with CORPOAMAZONIA with the support of other international entities, we are committed to preserving the natural resources of the Colombian Andean Amazon.
