The Amazon
In the Amazon rainforest wildlife is greatly threatened by various factors.
The main causes of wild animals arriving in rescue centers are human activities , such as poaching, forest fires, deforestation, urbanization, electrocution, road accidents, attacks by domestic animals, pollution and poisoning. The exploitation of wildlife in the form of illicit trafficking for the sale of meat products or illegal possession is also very present in this part of Latin America.
Finally, the lack of awareness of ecological issues by residents and tourists creates poor cohabitation between local populations and wild animals.
Wildlife rescue centers being few and laws regarding release quite restrictive, few animals have the chance to return to the wild after being rescued.
