The Condor, considered to be the world's largest bird, is seen as a symbol of strength and health. The skin of a Condor attracting prices of up to 1000 soles ($ 25). For hundreds of years, the Condor has struggled against humanity to survive. The Condor has been threatened by hunting, deforestation (loss of habitat), air pollution, water and food, and a sharp drop in their food source. In 1973, the U.S. Fish and Wildflife Service (federal agency for protecting fish and wildlife) Andean Condor added to the list of animals threatened with extinction. Although it has not started a census of the Condor, it is believed that its population has been diminished, and that in Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela continues to decline.
