His relationship between pelicans and man has often been contentious. They have been persecuted because they were perceived as competition for commercial and recreational fishing. Their populations have deteriorated due to the destruction of their habitat, overfishing and environmental disturbance and contamination, leading one species to be classified as vulnerable and two to be close to being so. They also have a long history of cultural significance in mythology and in Christian iconography and heraldry.

Su relación entre pelícanos y el hombre ha sido a menudo conflictiva. Han sido perseguidos porque se percibían como una competencia para la pesca comercial y recreativa. Sus poblaciones han disminuido considerablemente a causa de la destrucción de su hábitat, la sobrepesca y la perturbación y la contaminación ambiental, llevando a una especie a ser catalogada como vulnerable y a dos a estar cercanas a serlo. También tienen una larga historia de significado cultural en la mitología y en la iconografía y heráldica cristiana.

Thanks for stopping by and your support.
