=My predictions= In Ecuador are trying to help the child who are working, at 2004 ecuatorian govern started the promise of finish with child labour because is a very big problem, also called a crime. Until nowadays Ecuador have saved hundreds child and they are trying to save more childrens who are working since they were small because this very bad for their lifes. We hope in some years in Ecuador disappeared child labour.

Ecuador is a small country, but it´s bio-diversity is very big, so is also called paradise animal trafficking, there so especies that al lot people traffick whit them so the bio-diversity is starting to decrease a lot and it is a problem, if the govern start to put measures it will stop in some years but the govern is not making a lot of effort so first they need to realize of the problem. I think they start soon to erradicated.
