CARMONA, Julia Edith  e  ARANGO, Santiago Eliécer. BIOETHICS REFLECTIONS ABOUT ILLEGAL TRADE OF SPECIES IN COLOMBIA. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.2, pp.106-117. ISSN 1657-4702.

Illegal traffic of species is a well acknowledge International problem. In the of Colombia's It becomes particularly Ernst in that Colombia is the second mega-diverse country. Hence, a large part of life on Earth is placed within the Colombian territory, which makes of this country the second worldwide genetic reservoir for humankind. The most important implications of such a set of problems consist in the loss of diversity generated by the strong pressure on the extinction of species. This is united to the deterioration of the habitat due to the rupture of trophic chains which has serious consequences that can be considered as catastrophic not just on the local level but also in its largest worldwide level.
