2 Introduction  The Condor, is an important animal,  People have damaged most of the condor population.  The condor population is in constant decay  If the condor population keeps this constant decay, will it get to the point of extintion?

3 The Condor Since 2000, the Condor populations have declined, This is a endangered species There are only about 50-65 Condors left in Ecuador. causes for the decay of Condors. In 2009 an organization dedicated to the protection of the Condor was created. The Condor is a Monogamous animal, and it can only lay one egg a year.

4  In 2002, Aves & Conservación stated that there were no more than 70 individuals.  The Andean Condor is considered a threat  Condors, are scavengers, they only eat dead animals.  The first condor census was made in 1991 and 200 condors were registered.  The condor is the biggest flying land bird in the world.

7 Goats info  Feral goats are known because of their big appetite and because, they eat everything  They are devastating for some sectors, and in many plagues, they are considered plagues.  Many people have to search for a harsher way of dealing with them, for example hunting, poisoning, tracking, etc.

8 Math lab-Growth  What is the exponential growth of Freral goats in Galapagos  Used initial and final number of goats in Pinta (3 in 1959 and 20,000 in 1971)  Created a table with those values  Approximated a growth factor (with calculator) for the 12 years (2.083)  Filled the table by multiplying each value by the gf to get the next value  Used initial amount and gf to write the equation

10 Conclusion As a conclusion we have realized that if we continue growing down this exponential decay path, the condor could be extinct in a few decades in fact in five years from now there are only going to be 36 condors P=200(.71 5 )= 36 This all means that by the year 2020 there could only be 36 condors left in Ecuador
