Estimado Sr. Pérez

Somos un grupo de escolares del país. Este año, hemos aprendido / aprendido

sobre diferentes especies en peligro de extinción en Colombia y estamos muy preocupados por una que

vive en nuestro departamento: el tití pardo plateado. 2 grabado / ha sido grabado

que este pequeño mono se reproduce solo una vez al año y, en cada grupo, solo una hembra es

activo para la reproducción a la vez. Por esta razón, la tasa de natalidad es bastante baja. Además, su

El hábitat 3 está destruido / ha sido destruido y creemos que esto continuará en el

futuro, ya que aquí ya se han planificado varias carreteras y granjas. 4 podemos / debemos dejar de cortar

árboles derribados porque los bosques proporcionan alimento y hogar para el tamarino que vive en

esta región. Los agricultores 5 no pueden / pueden seguir destruyendo bosques y el Departamento

las autoridades 6 no deberían ni deberían intentar planificar mejores estrategias para ayudar a estos pequeños animales.

Sr. Pérez, no debe / debe ignorar nuestra petición si desea seguir disfrutando del

gran biodiversidad de nuestro departamento.
