The natural beauty of Latin America is rife with exotic species that are as much of a part of the inspiration for tourism as the regions in which they reside. But the sad truth is that many are on the path to extinction. I’m sure you’d agree that it’s important we not only see these creatures for their inherent beauty and mystique, but also the important role that they play in some of the most superb geographical locations in the world.
This infographic provides a painful reminder that many of these beautiful creatures may not be around for coming generations.
