DOS ESPECIES EN PELIGRO DE EXTINCIÓN
The Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) is a species in danger of extinction due to it loss of habitat and poaching of nestlings for the live bird trade. They are found from southern Mexico to Central South America, but have decline in numbers so much that they are not found is El Salvador anymore.
The remaining Scarlet Macaws in Costa Rica are found in only twoparts of the country, both on the Pacific coast. Fist at Osa Peninsula where is the largest and consists of approximately 700 scarlet macaws. The second one is found in the Central Pacific Conservation Area, an area which includes Carara National Park, Guacalillo MangroveReserve and Turrubares mountains, next to Turu Ba Ri Park.
In both of the main Costa Rican populations, the Scarlet Macaw coexistscomfortably with humans. Although clearly dependent on the protected areas within their range, the Central Pacific Scarlet Macaw population is often observed in highly modified habitats, such as agricultural, grazing lands or close to human dwellings. However despite the fact that the population has adapted to habitat alteration to some degree, the primary threat to the population is thedisturbing level of nestling poaching in Costa Rica.
Knowing this, Turubari Park is contributing with Carara Park rangers and their programs with local students where they teach them the importance of preserving the Scarlet Macaw and its environment. The park also planted more than 5,000 tree species used by macaws for food like the Sandbox tree (Hura crepitans), The Gumbo-limbo often referred to as theTourist Tree (Bursera simaruba) and Cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) among others. Thanks to this the Scarlet Macaw are watched at Turubari Park regularly between December and March, when these trees bloom
The Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) is a large, colorful macaw. It is native to humid evergreen forests in the American tropics. Range extends from extreme south-eastern Mexico to AmazonianPeru,Bolivia and Brazil in lowlands up to 500 m (1,640 ft) (at least formerly) up to 1,000 m (3,281 ft). It has suffered from local extinction through habitat destruction and capture for the parrot trade, but locally it remains fairly common. Formerly it ranged north to southern Tamaulipas. It can still be found on the island of Coiba. It is the national bird of Honduras.
TRADUCTOR: La guacamaya roja(Ara macao) es una especie en peligro de extinción debido a la pérdida de hábitat y la caza furtiva de los pichones para el comercio de aves vivas. Se encuentran desde el sur de México a Centroamérica América del Sur, pero que tienen disminución en el número tanto de que no se encuentran El Salvador es más.
Los guacamayos escarlata que quedan en Costa Rica se encuentran en sólo dos partes delpaís, tanto en la costa del Pacífico. Puño de la Península de Osa, donde es el más grande y consta de aproximadamente 700 lapas rojas. El segundo se encuentra en el Área de Conservación Pacífico Central, un área que incluye el Parque Nacional Carara, MangroveReserve Guacalillo Turrubares y las montañas, junto al Turu Ba Ri Park.
En los dos principales poblaciones de Costa Rica, el Scarlet Macawcoexiste con comodidad con los seres humanos. Aunque depende claramente de las áreas protegidas dentro de su rango, el Pacífico Central Scarlet Macaw la población se observa a menudo en hábitats altamente modificados, tales como tierras agrícolas, de pastoreo o cercanas a las viviendas humanas. Sin embargo a pesar de que la población se ha adaptado a la alteración del hábitat hasta cierto punto, laprincipal amenaza para la población es preocupante el nivel de la caza furtiva enclavado en Costa Rica.
Sabiendo esto, Turubari Park está contribuyendo con Carara Los guardabosques del parque y sus programas con los estudiantes locales en donde les enseñan la importancia de la preservación de la guacamaya roja y su entorno. El parque también plantaron más de 5.000 especies de árboles utilizados...
