Report in @StandardKenya reveals trafficking of Grey #parrots 2 years after amnesty programme launched by @KWSKenya. It's critical that efforts are stepped up to tackle illegal selling & ownership and prevent normalisation of keeping and trade in parrots. standardmedia.co.ke/health/h…

Well done #Brazil on the landmark operation bringing back Lear’s Macaws & tamarin's seized in Togo, West Africa. This bold move shines a light on the dark web of international trafficking networks and showcases the importance of global collaboration. 👏 bit.ly/49G29J2

Suriname is one of the only Latin American countries that still allows exports of parrots captured in the wild and there are major concerns that this legal trade has seen it emerge as a major hotspot for traffickers exploiting the legal trade to export highly endangered parrots.
