The Blue-billed Curassow, a tropical bird on the brink of extinction

The Blue-billed Paujil (Crax Alberti), also called the Blue-billed Peacock, is a bird endemic to northern Colombia, that is, its existence is limited exclusively to that territory, so its conservation is of great importance for the protection of the ecosystem services offered by its habitat. 
These birds require large areas of tropical forest to live, so their presence, or absence, makes them an indicator species of the state of conservation of the ecosystems where they are found. 
During the development of an exploration project in the Serranía de San Lucas, located in the south of the department of Bolívar, a team of expert professionals from the Conservation Laboratory - Colombia, managed to identify the presence of the Curassow by installing specialized phototrapping equipment. . However, the current context of the area, which is characterized by the presence of armed groups, an expanding agricultural frontier, mining exploitation and poaching for human consumption, puts the survival of the species in critical danger. 
Humanity is a devouring species, which consumes resources excessively to satisfy its needs, some of them banal and meaningless. It is time to understand that the destruction of biodiversity is the destruction of human life, whose existence depends on the protection of the natural environment from which it is nourished. 
Protecting the Curassow is protecting human life.
