Project about Endangered animals

Good morning teacher and classmates.

In this opportunity, we are going to talk about endangered animals.
As we know, Peru has a diversity of flora and fauna, one of the largest and most varied
in the world. Likewise, wild fauna is defined as non-domesticated, native, or exotic
animal species, including their genetic diversity, that lives freely in the national territory.
However, many species have been victims of illegal wildlife trafficking, which has led to
the extinction of some species.
One of them is the Yellow-tailed Choro Monkey, which is on the list of the most
endangered primates due to habitat loss and degradation, hunting, and deforestation.
THE YELLOW-TAILED CHORO MONKEY
The yellow-tailed choro monkey is a species endemic to Peru, Amazonas, San Martin,
and part of Loreto. Moreover, the most characteristic feature of this monkey is the
yellow coloration at the end of its tail, males have a large tuft of yellow hair in the
crotch, and it can measure up to 54 centimeters. In addition, this monkey has a lot of
furs and has been seen many times sitting in the rain, so it can be deduced that its fur
resists water; also, its reproduction rate is very slow, and it can only have one offspring
every 3 years.
FOOD
It feeds on fruits, seeds, flowers, leaves, and insects. Also, when feeding, it tends to
disperse seeds so that there are more plants and trees.
WHERE IT LIVES
It lives mainly in the territory of Amazonas and San Martin, it has also been found on
the border of Loreto, La Libertad, and Huánuco; it can also be found in humid mountain
forests or cloud forests, in large and tall trees. Its population varies between 1000 and
5000 individuals. It lives in groups of between 5 and 18 individuals.
WHY IT IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION
It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, hunting, and deforestation. The main
threat to the yellow-tailed choro monkey is habitat destruction, but climate change is a
major problem. When the planet's temperature rises, the clouds move higher, changing
the ecosystem where this species lives.

According to the Peruvian Ministry of Environment's National Forest Conservation

Program, between Amazonas and San Martin, in 2015, more than 25 000 hectares
were deforested, the equivalent of the area covered by the Lima districts of Villa Maria
del Triunfo, San Juan de Lurigancho, Los Olivos and San Martin de Porres.

Finally, the consequences of the road and deforestation continue to severely impact
the home of the yellow-tailed monkey.
