    INTRODUCTION
    The Silent Tragedy: The Extinction of the Gallito de las Rocas.

    In the vast and lush tropical rainforests of South America,


    once echoed the vibrant songs and vivid colors of the iconic
    Gallito de las Rocas, a species that inhabited the cloud
    forests of the region. However, today, this majestic bird
    faces a desolate fate: extinction. The Gallito de las rocas has
    become a emblematic victim of the biodiversity crisis facing
    our planet.

    Known for its brilliant plumage and distinctive crest, is an


    endemic species of the forests of South America, from
    Venezuela to Bolivia. For centuries, it has been a symbol of
    the rich biodiversity and natural beauty of the region.
    One of the main threats facing the Cock-of-the-
    Rock is the loss of its natural habitat due to
    deforestation. As the global demand for
    agricultural and timber products continues to
    grow, vast expanses of tropical rainforests are
    cleared every year, leaving species like the Cock-
    of-the-Rock homeless and without resources to
    survive. Furthermore, habitat fragmentation
    often isolates bird populations, further
    hindering their ability to reproduce and
    maintain a healthy genetic diversity.
    G A L L I T O D E L A S R O C AS
    HABITAT
    Their habitat is mostly in the
    Amazon regions of Peru, meaning
    they like the warm and humid
    climate with a temperature of
    approximately 20°C. Well, they
    prefer to be in dense and closed
    places so that the females can
    build their nests in caves, crevices
    or on vertical faces of rocks.
    FEEDING

    Their first days they feed on


    insects of many varieties but this
    animal is based on a diet of wild
    fruits, fruits or rock walls found
    within the cloud and Amazonian
    forests in order to obtain its food
    more easily.
    REPRODUCTION

    Their reproduction begins in


    October, ending incubation, which
    lasts from November to February.
    They lay their eggs in the crevices
    of cliffs. And so the females lay
    their eggs in nests built on cliffs or
    rock walls.
    DIFERENCES
    Male
    Its beak is yellow and its legs are
    orange yellow.
    Wings and tail are black.
    Flat rounded disc-shaped crest.
    Female:
    Small crest of smaller profile.
    Its dark colored beak with yellow
    tip and orange to dark yellow legs.
    Wings and tail are opaque and brown.
    WHY IT IS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION:
    Ir is endangered due to the

    • destruction of its natural habitat such


    as logging, illegal mining,
    construction of dams and roads,
    leaving this wonderful bird without
    resources.
    In conclusion, the cock-of-the-rock bird that is part of the
    cultural heritage of Peru but is in a very serious situation,
    like many animals whose existence is affected, we must
    remember that the causes that occur are mainly due to the

    Conclusion activities of humans. deforestation and hunting them just to


    sell their plumage in foreign markets.
    We must be aware of taking care of this bird and, like it,
    many other animals that are in the same situation.
    Let's start thinking about the consequences that their
    extinction can generate since every animal, plant or human
    being that lives in our space has a purpose.
    Let us become much more aware as Peruvians, being one of
    the main birds in our fauna and being a heritage for our
    country.
    ¡GRACIAS!
