In the context of nature increasingly affected by human activities, rescuing wild parrots has become an urgent mission. Many parrot species, symbols of life and color in ecosystems, face the threat of extinction due to habitat loss, illegal trade, and climate change.
Current Situation
Parrots are a highly diverse group, with about 393 species worldwide. However, according to conservation organizations, around 28% of these are threatened. The main reasons include:
- Habitat Loss: Tropical forests and other ecological areas, which are home to many parrot species, are being deforested for agriculture and urban development.
- Illegal Trade: Parrots are often captured for sale as pets, leading to overexploitation and a decline in wild populations.
- Climate Change: Changes in climate affect food sources and habitats for parrots, increasing pressure on their survival.
