    Hello, my name is Diego Linares, I am an environmental engineering student. Poaching and


    illegal trafficking of flora and fauna in Colombia is destroying ecosystems. the hunting of
    wild animals destroys the balance in ecosystems. Wild animals that are traded will suffer in
    environments other than their biological habitat. Poaching causes the extinction of species and
    serious problems in ecosystems. The authorities must take care of the natural reserves. The
    authorities must sanction and fine those responsible for these acts. The community must
    report to the authorities any event that threatens the nature of the species. People should not
    buy wild animals; it is an attack against life.
