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.
