Illegal Wildlife Trade--Parrots in Peril
In this episode of Conservation Beyond the Cage, we explore the realities of the illegal parrot trade: how smugglers use advanced technology, how the COVID-19 pandemic fueled trafficking by weakening enforcement, and the devastating toll on wild populations. We also confront a hard truth—society has grown desensitized to parrots in cages, forgetting they are wildlife meant to thrive in the skies, not behind bars.
