Actions to Be Taken and Their Impacts
There are some actions we could take in order to save the Mountain Toucan and other animals that live in the high mountains:
1. Make artificial nests: Since the Toucan's habitat is disappearing, its a good idea to hang out wooden-made nests from trees to make artificial nests for them. You can also put nearby bird tech from the nest.
2. Make bird feeders: There are 2 options to do this:
a. Hang a branch orange peels. They make a delicious snack!
b. Cover a empty toilet paper roll with peanut butter, then sprinkle it with some seeds and hang it from a tree.
Since the Toucan's habitat is getting smaller and their food is going missing, it is a really good idea to hang them nearby a bird area.
3. Create Awareness:
There are many, many ways to build awareness. You can do it locally, nationally, or even globally! You can write letters to the newspaper, make campaigns at school, write to world leaders, etc! What you can do to create awareness is up to you and your creativity.
4.Recycle everything:
Did you know that you can recycle everything? Everything can be recycled and reused, even organic stuff! With the organic stuff, you can make food for worms, and with diapers, which have absorbent molecules that have water inside them, you can bury them under trees to let them grow! With the rest of stuff, you can recycle them by putting on the recycling bin cardboard, paper, glass, aluminum, plastic, Tetrapacks (special centers take care of them) and many other things. If you don't want to recycle, then you can reuse the materials to make cool stuff, like a metal robot!
5. Take care of the water:
Did you know that 97% of water on all earth is salty? That means that there is very little amount of drinkable water. Mining companies go to the top of mountains to mine precious minerals. But that also means they're destroying the main water sources that Colombia depends on. Also, many agricultural farmers use chemicals that pollute the water and damage the ocean. We need to protest against this and tell farmers about the harm that they're doing.
