FAUNA
UNDERSTANDING AND CARING FOR ANIMALS RESCUED FROM ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING, IS PART OF WILDLIFE FOUNDATION’S WORK.
With a team of veterinarians and biologists that worry for the country’s species, this activity has become the emblem of the foundation.
But the work goes a lot further than this. Parting from the mega diversity that exists in Ecuador, where there are more than 1600 avian species, 38 endemic species of mammals, almost 400 species of reptiles, and the list goes on. All of these are threatened by illegal activities that have caused some of these species to become extinct and many whom are very close to extinction.
