Flora and fauna of Chile: the problematic today

Today I want to speak about two species that exists in Chile, the huemul and the pudú.

The huemul is an endangered species and is one of three species of native servants living in Chile. The main reason for their extinction are: poaching, habitat loss due to human activities, attacks by domestic dogs, lack of food because of overgrazing to  and the transmission of disease from domestic animals. 

Another servant of Chile but not in extinction, is listed as a vulnerable species is the Pudú, this animal is the smallest native deer Chile ( and indeed one of the world's smallest deer ). Within the scientific sector the species is also known from Pudu. The main threats, which are those that have contributed to, but mainly native forest felling and forest fires. The attacks by domestic their decline include poaching for meat, habitat loss due to human activities are another major cause of death of pudú . Disease transmission by domestic livestock ,do as also been identified as a possible cause of threat.

The forest industry and industrial-type livestock production are the hardest on the flora and fauna. The dominant groups must change poor legal frameworks that exist today for effective legal frameworks that aim to promote a organic farming and a forestry industry that not deforested native forests.

FARC, America's oldest guerrilla

Hello, today I have to do a summary of an article relate with the career that I study. I am studing sociology, in this career is very important to known what is happens in the politics of other countries. I think is more important known about the politic success of Latin America, for that reason today I choose for talk about an article related with government of Colombia and FARC. I found the article in internet in the page of CNN, the link of the article is:

http://www.cnn.cl/2013/10/27/world/americas/colombia-farc-american-hostage-released/index.html?hpt=ila_c2

The theme of the article is the liberation of a North American backpacking in Colombia from FARC guerrilla. The meaning of FARC in Spanish is “Fuerzas armadas revolucionarias de Colombia”, and FARC is America's oldest guerrilla. FARC began fighting against Colombia's government in the 1960s.

The backpacking name is Kevin Scott. He had more than four months in captivity. With the help of government of Colombia and other organizations (International Committee of the Red Cross) the prisoner was released. These institutions pushed to FARC for the release of Kevin Scott.


The importance of the news is that FARC, is currently engaged in peace talks with the Colombian government. Norway and Cuba are helping to mediate the talks. The conversation are taking place in Havana, but the situation is difficult.
