NATURAL ECOPARKS IN COLOMBIA

ECOPARQUE DE LA SALUD (THE HEALTH ECOPARK)

Cali is the biggest city in the south west of Colombia. Like other cities in Colombia, it has an
ecopark nearby. The Health Ecopark in Cali is a large park which borders the beautiful Pance River.
At 564 km² it is the most important park in the area. The forest is a relaxing place for people from
the nearby city to get fresher air and cooler temperatures. There are lots of trees in the forest and a
wide variety of animals and birds. People visiting the ecopark can see birds such as guacharacas,
eagles and other native species. Along the river they can see amphibians such as toads and frogs
in the clear water.

TAYRONA ECOPARK
Tayrona Ecopark near Santa Marta in the north of Colombia is smaller than the Health Ecopark,
with an area of 150 km². This ecopark is more famous than the Health Ecopark. Tayrona has
beautiful beaches, exotic nature and clear blue sea. It has a wide variety of wildlife as the park is
located between the sea and the mountains.
In terms of wildlife, there are 300 species of birds and 70 species of bats, as well as jaguars, deer,

DON’T WASTE WATER!
There are 7 billion people on the planet and we need more water than before. 1.1 billion people
don’t have access to fresh water. Others only have access for part of the year. Pollution from
factories and chemicals makes water dirty. Also, climate change means that there is less water
now. It rains less, or rain falls at different times. The rain doesn’t fill rivers and reservoirs.

If there is no clean water, people drink dirty water instead. This causes illnesses and a lot of people,
especially children, die because of this.
What can we do?
If you live in a country with lots of fresh water, you are very lucky! But you can still help to save your
country’s water.
▪ Turn off the tap when you are brushing your teeth.
▪ Don’t use fresh water to water your lawn.
▪ Don’t have a bath. Have a shower instead.
▪ Eat less meat. The meat industry uses a lot of water.

ANIMAL CRUELTY BY MARTA SÁNCHEZ
We share our planet with millions of species of animals. Animals are beautiful and intelligent, but
people often do terrible things to them. In my opinion, we have to stop cruelty to animals.

CIRCUSES
We love seeing animals like elephants and lions in circuses. They live in small cages, and people
often hit the animals if they don’t learn quickly. Some people think that the animals don’t suffer
because they are used to circus life. But I think it’s cruel.

TRADITIONS
Sports like bullfighting, fox hunting and dog fighting are popular in a lot of countries. Some people
think that bullfighting is exciting, and say that it’s fair because bulls are strong and powerful. But I
disagree, because the bullfighter chooses to fight, but the bull can’t choose.

ANIMAL TRAFFICKING
A lot of exotic animals are taken from their natural habitats. People can make a lot of money from
animal trafficking. People buy them as pets, or kill them for food, or make products from their bodies
such as souvenirs, clothes and medicine.
Why do people use animals for this? Why does Marta think it’s cruel?
Circuses
Bullfighting
Animal trafficking

13. READ THE SITUATIONS AND GIVE YOUR OPINIONS.

We can use the following expressions to discuss and give opinions:

I think (animal testing) is awful.
I don’t think (horse racing) is very bad.
I agree.
I see what you mean, but…

a. There is a laboratory near my house where they use animals for experiments. I know there are
dogs, cats and rabbits there. They give substances to the animals to see their reactions.

b. My friend has three cats. One of them is his favourite. Sometimes, when the other two cats do
something wrong, my friend hits them.

c. My friend Paola is vegetarian. She thinks it’s wrong to kill animals and use their meat for food. I
understand her point of view, but sometimes she gets angry with me too when I eat meat.

d. People do horse racing in my town. They don’t kill the horses, but sometimes the horses die
when they fall. I think it’s cruel to use animals for sport.
