Accurate translation from Spanish to English please...?!?
The International Commerce of Endangered Species, created in 1973 and composed of 124 countries, pursues the survival of the earth's species. There are approximately 37,000 species of flora and fauna, and 2,500 animals that face the immediate danger of extinction caused by man. The black Asiatic bear, an enormous black bear with a white, "V" shaped collar, is a good example. In actuality there are only two hundred that have survived being hunted. As a safety measure, the administration of the United States has forbidden their importation. The giant panda, also, valued for its fur, is endangered. Only about a thousand pandas live in the wild and their trafficking has been condemned. In the last fifteen years, the population of the rhinoceros has dropped 85%, this due to the trafficking of their horns. The Nile crocodile, an animal of mystery and legend, still lives in the National Park Falls of Murchison, Uganda. Explorers have talked about monstrous crocodiles measuring up to 10 meters, but in actuality there haven't been any found longer than 5 meters. The skin of this reptile is highly valued on the black market for manufacturing of various accessories.
