RICHARDS, Romina; EMEN, María Fernanda  e  RUGEL G., Octavio. Illegal trafficking conditions of wildlife animals in a rescue center in Guayaquil city. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.6, e20377.  Epub 05-Out-2021. ISSN 1609-9117.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rivep.v32i6.20377.

The aim of this study was to identify the species affected by the illegal trafficking of wildlife received in a rescue centre in the city of Guayaquil. Records from 2018 to 2020 were collected, obtaining data on the origin of rescue, presence and severity of injuries, and the percentage of mortality. Additionally, with the identification of the specimen, it was categorized according to the species, and its situation according to the red list of threatened species of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the red books of Ecuador. In total, 743 animals of 106 species were registered, the juvenile stage being the most frequent. The animals were taken in by confiscation and voluntary surrender. Ten percent mortality was found, mostly in mammals. According to the IUCN, most of the specimens were in the category of Least Concern, and according to the red books of Ecuador, birds and mammals were classified in those of Least Concern and reptiles were recorded as Vulnerable in a higher proportion.
