In an operational control and monitoring department tracks the environmental group of the National Police made the seizure of 17 parrots yellow head (Amazon oratrix) in km 84 of the section that leads from Riohacha to Paraguachón.

The commercialization of wildlife has become a frequent crime taking into account that not all inhabitants are aware of the impact they have on the environment., since each individual plays a fundamental function for the recovery or sustainability of the ecosystem.

Recognize the yellow-headed parrot as an endangered species that usually lives in pairs or small groups in mature trees., in the jungle or in more open places; stands out for its powerful and stable flight, accompanied by loud, screeching calls.

This species is quite silent when it feeds and prefers to fly between the branches collecting fruits., seeds, nuts and flowers scattering them everywhere, This allows the regeneration of the species thrown at different points depending on the individual's route..

Corpoguajira and the National Police invite you to reconcile with the environment through voluntary deliveries of captive species and to report any incident that threatens the fauna and flora in the department..
