Context Analysis
Antofila is located in the department of Putumayo, a department that belongs to the Colombian Amazon, a region where the dynamics of illegal trafficking of wild flora and fauna continues to grow, the environmental authority Corpoamazonia permanently reports confiscations under pressure, voluntary delivery and rescues of wild fauna in special flag macaws, yellow blue, and other species. The natural resources that the Amazon possesses are its riches and the lack of knowledge regarding the functionality of these resources has led us to see that the only way to be able to take direct advantage of its resources is by extracting and marketing them. Thank God antofila has emerged with the main initiative to promote in the Amazon and surrounding regions knowledge regarding the functionality of each of these species in the region, we believe that if we provide the engineering community with the importance of these species they will stop being captured and traded and they will begin to promote the conservation, protection and destruction of illegal wildlife trafficking networks. It is a risky issue because these trafficking networks are strong in the department and as such in the Amazon region, with the places and/or sectors stable where the bird species and their buyers are captured, which are presumed to be in the large populated centers. say in the big cities of the Republic of Colombia.
