Summary

Nordelta is a luxury private urban complex built on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, on a wetland from the Parana river that is the capybara’s natural habitat. Nordelta was a town where Capybara lived in this area for a long time before disappearing about two decades while Nordelta was started built 20 years ago, there has home, office, a shopping centre... but since they started to build a clinic on the last remaining piece of natural land, many residents have noted a sudden capybara “invasion.” moreover, many Nordelta residents have complained about capybaras ruining their lawns, biting pets and causing traffic accidents (people slow down the car to take a picture of them) In addition, the damage has been done, the residents need to adapt to stay with Capybaras” 

Reaction: First I wanna know why the friendly animal invade the neighbourhood but I find out that people invading thier home first and stole thier home to be a office, centre, school... and the last their living land. People should acknowledge the capybaras' presence and welfare by providing a good habitat for them instead of take everything from them.

Question: Why did Capybara show up at the last empty land? Because if they appeared before, many people will acknowledge their presence and won’t do construction on their habitat?

- Did the people who do infrastructure acknowledge that there was once Capybara’s presence ?
