私養河馬威脅生態

哥倫比亞大毒梟Pablo Escobar1993年死後留下了四隻河馬,因太巨大難以捕捉及運送,最後在野外繁殖,現今已超過80隻。河馬是當地入侵物種,排放大量糞便污染河水,令水中氧氣大減危害魚類及影響生態,同時亦令漁民漁獲大減及威脅當地居民安全。

After the dead of the Colombian druglord Pablo Escobar, his four hippos were left behind because they were too hard to catch and transfer; the hippo population has grown to over 80 since then. Hippos are invasive species in Colombia, and their waste is pollution to the river causing low lever of oxygen in the water, affecting the ecosystem. fishermens catch has reduced and the hippos also create more danger to the locals.
