Pavonine Quetzal (Pharomachrus pavoninus) in the Yasuni

These mystery species was found along the Saladero Trail at Shiripuno Lodge; we were having a full  birding day and we had some other rare species previously but Pavonine Quetzal sat for a while and let me make this clip which a would like to share with you.


Yasuni Biosphere Rserve is the biggest Nature Reserve in Ecuador and the one with tons of money from oil but at the moment it doesn't have its legal limits; all are illusions as the pushing development going on for the last 30 years.
People still poor not only in monetary terms but poor in living standars, educational, health and the list goes on and on...
Yasuni Biosphere Reserve has a board but it doesn't function properly many don't understand that they have a planetary future in their hands. Can you believe that?
