13. Look at the following problems of animal trafficking in Colombia. Choose two different
problems. Write your opinion about each and suggest a possible solution. Use the example
below to help you.

Example:
In my opinion, this is a big problem. People think that animal parts look good, and animal
rugs, for example, are warm in the winter. But it is very bad when endangered animals are
used. I think we can solve this by educating people. For example, we can ask them if they’re
happy to live in a world where there are no tigers. I’m sure that people can change their
behaviour.

Some people use animal parts, for example animal

problems in Colombia?

Environmental problems in Colombia

1. Damage caused by mining
Our country is famous for its natural resources of coal, precious metals and
gems. Unfortunately, mining has caused a lot of environmental problems. For
example, mercury and cyanide are used a lot in gold mining. These chemicals
often enter into the water system, and it means that a lot of drinking water is
polluted. There are stricter controls now, but unfortunately, people have been
practising illegal mining even in protected nature reserves.
2. Deforestation
Colombia has been losing its forests for a number of decades. Three major
causes of this are: the demand for farmland for crops and cattle, the
development of the country’s system of roads and the demand for timber. Some
people believe that these practices are necessary for developing our country’s
economy, but the damage that they have caused is enormous. Other factors that
cause deforestation are hydroelectric and mining developments, oil production,
house building and the use of land to grow plants for the illegal drugs trade.
3. Loss of moorland
Like the forests, Colombia’s moors are disappearing. Mining and farmland have
been invading the country’s moors over the last few decades. This has serious
consequences for the country’s water resources – 70% of Colombia’s water comes
from the ecosystems of the moors. Fortunately, some of the moors now have
national park status, which will help to protect them in the future.

▪ damage: daño
▪ farmland: tierra de cultivo
▪ coal: carbón
▪ cattle: ganadería
▪ chemicals: productos químicos
▪ loss: pérdida
▪ cyanide: cianuro
▪ moors: páramos
In pairs, discuss the questions.

d. What other environmental problems in Colombia can you think of?

e. What is the most serious problem, in your opinion? Why?
f. What can we do to solve these problems?
