  • Continuous hunting of jutías by peasants to make up for government neglect of the supply, and the cutting of endemic palms (Saval parviflora) that are used by psitacidae, strigiformes, piciformes, trogonidae and other species of avifauna to build their nests have been increasing in recent years due to the increase in personnel from the Youth Labor Army who, in the absence of sanctions and with the complicity of forest rangers themselves, knock palms down every day in their search for young parrots and as a lucrative way to pass the time while in military service.
