Peru’s mega bio-diversity is worldwide recognized, due to its heterogenic geography, more than 60% of its territory is Amazon. Here the wildlife is exuberant, and without been exaggerating we can say that is a real natural paradise where the biggest quantity of the planet species are concentrated, such as mammals, insects, birds, plants and other ways of life, many of them has not been studied yet and others not even discovered.
Nevertheless, the danger and the threat that this natural world confronts, are a latent reality, and if human beings do not change their attitudes in relation to the correct use of the natural resources, probably the human being will never ever will have the opportunity to find out the existence of many species. In such a way these species will be disappearing for ever before even being known. If this seems to be not enough, do not forget that at least 25% of all well-known and used drugs in the world, are fruits of found chemical mechanisms in the greatest pharmacy of the world: “the Amazonian Forest”, nowadays we only know 5% of what in there exists. |
