==The Andean condor is a very special animal. It is the biggest flying bird in the world, but it is also really important for us, Ecuadorians, because it is on our coat of arms. In the last few years, hunters have been killing these animals looking for cures to illnesses or just because they think that condors eat their cows. In Ecuador, only 27 especimens have been found. What means that the Andean condor is almost extinct in our country. According to many biologists, the reason to the disappearance of these birds is that they can not find their food easily, and also to the destruction of their habitat. So, the government of our country has named the Andean condor as national priority. What means that is completely forbidden to hunt these birds. But it is also in our hands to educate people on the respect and love to these beautiful creatures, and to any other animal or plant that is being threatened by us.== =By: Stephanie Bayancela=
