Macaws

Photo for USAID Biodiversity photo contest - 2023. NAPO RIVER, ECUADOR - NOVEMBER 2008. Wildlife and wild landscapes across Ecuadorparticularly in the Amazon region face threats of unplanned colonization, over-exploitation of natural resources, and water and air pollution. Hunting and illegal logging have caused local extinctions of wildlife (life these macaws) and tree species in many forests. The impacts of oil exploration are widespread and will increase if the oil industry accelerates its production activities without mitigating its environmental impacts.
