Why Is Macaws Endangered

The endangered species act passed in 1973 is the strongest law protecting the biodiversity of the United States today. For forty years the ESA has helped prevent the extinction of our nation’s wildlife treasure ("Endangered Species Act 101"), however, whether or not all of the environmental conservation victories can be attributed to the act is controversial. Especially when evaluating cases such as that of the bald eagle and California condor where there is evidence that suggest the recovery of the two species would have come naturally due to the ban of the pesticide DDT. This ban occurred before the passing of the act as well as the start of recovering for the birds of prey more the bald eagle in the western part of its range at the time, yet it can be stated that the endangered species act did bring an end to the poaching

Primate conservation has long been a topic of debate, reliant most heavily on the struggle to provide the necessary resources to combat the declining rate of population growth among various species. Orangutans in particular, both Sumatran and Bornean, have experienced a rapid drop in their free-living populations. With an estimate of only 27,000 left in the wild, questions have been raised over what selective pressures are impacting the steady decline of these animals existence. While hunting and poaching have been identified as contributing factors, habitat loss primarily takes center stage in their demise. Conservation efforts have been made and continue to be somewhat successful, however, challenges and set backs continue to threaten

- Hyacinth Macaws. It is about 3.3 ft in length from the top of its head to the tip of its tail, so it is longer than any other species of parrot. Not only is It the largest macaw species, it is also the largest flying parrot species. It is considered endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. It is also protected by its listing on Appendix I of the CITES.

People from all around the world are poaching this amazing animals for their blue plunge feather. This poaching problem is mostly happening all around South America. Also, the poacher is killing Macaw it's because macaw are really loud and it makes a fierce noise. Usually, poacher comes out at night to hunt these animals.For example, at night we can send in these drones that have heat motions to see the poachers that are killing these innocent animals for their Feather. As we seek this poacher we can have state trooper lead their way to the poachers at night.

However, they all have curved beaks. Most parrots eat seeds, fruit, flowers, nuts, buds, and some small creatures such as insects. One of the most colorful parrots is the Scarlet Macaw Parrot. Male and female Macaw are often red, yellow and blue in color. Parrots are often brightly colored.

There are several reasons why giraffes are on the endangered list. This Incessant problem has not been stopped or even brought to attention. Giraffes have slowly and quietly sneaked on to the endangered list over the past ten years. Jason Daley from the Smithsonian said “Giraffe numbers have dropped precipitously in the last 31 years, from 157,000 individuals in 1985 to 97,500 at last count.”

Introduction: Endangered species is a species which is classified of IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) to become extinct or in red list species. We can find a lot of endangered species today; it is because their populations were destroyed by human being from many different aspects. For examples, illegal logging in the forest destroyed their habitat, farming, and housing of human. Grand Cayman blue iguana (Cyclura Lewis) is one of the species that people concern about it. The results of IUCN show that, the population of the Cayman blue iguana has increase from near extinct to endanger. In this report, I will write about the location and habitat, population and status, the reason they are threatened, and the conservation.

Blue and yellow macaws are curious, eye-catching parrots. The diet of the blue and yellow macaw consists mainly of fruits, nuts, and seeds. Sometimes they will also eat leaves and flowers. Macaws have a strong black beak which they use to crack open nuts and seeds and which aids them with climbing. The wings and tail of this brightly colored bird are blue, the forehead is green, and the underside is white or yellow. These birds have a wingspan of four feet, a body length of three feet, and weigh around three pounds. Blue and yellow macaws can be found in the northern countries of South America, including Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Venezuela. Macaws are a fascinating South American

Since the beginning of life itself, some species have lived and prospered while other species have gone extinct never to be seen again by mankind. Because of this, some would claim that extinction is natural and not significantly problematic to the world that we live in. Others, however, understand that due to climate change, habitat loss, and poaching, more and more species are becoming endangered which leads to a chain reaction that can be devastating to ecosystems. Species such as the Chinook salmon, gorillas, tropical sharks, and polar bears are all directly affected by climate change, species such as northern spotted owls, Sumatran tigers, and lemurs are greatly harmed due to habitat loss, and species such as the sea turtle, Javan rhinoceros, African elephant, and the Red-Fronted Macaw are all affected by poaching driving them all closer and closer to becoming extinct.

Nicaragua is a Central American country in tropical region. It is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Because of the unique location, Nicaragua is the home for various types of wild animals. Two species I will mention in this paper are Baird’s tapir and jaguarundi. They both live in rainforest ecosystem, which is the natural home for them. Just as all other species live in Nicaragua rainforest, Baird’s tapir and jaguarundi are facing habitat loss issue. Baird’s tapir is now endangered; jaguarundi is currently not endangered but also suffer a lot from deforestation. Putting in more effort to protect rainforest is one thing Nicaraguan government should do. Long term benefits that rainforest and wild animals live in

The conservation effort is worth the economic cost as many recent cases of rehabilitation have suggested if done right birds are able to live normal longer lives. For

Audubon is one of the United States’ oldest nonprofit organizations and their mission is to “protect birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow, throughout the Americas using science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation” (About Us ). Founded in 1905, The Audubon Society was formed in response to the massive slaughters of waterbirds, like egrets and herons. Born with a daunting mission, the National Audubon Society has never stopped defending birds by using groundbreaking science and education. The Audubon’s website is located at www.audubon.org and this website’s intended audience is people who

Why are animals being endangered? Endangered species are any species that’s threatened; their numbers of is being decreased and have the danger of getting extinct. A threatened animal is likely to become endangered in the upcoming future. There are many causes of animal endangerment some reasons are, habitat loss that is mainly caused by natural disasters, the introduction of new species, pollution, and overconsumption. Also, humans play a major role in animal’s endangerment.

Tigers are primarily killed to supply underground black markets with its organs, pelts, and bones. These items are highly regarded in eastern medicine (although these treatments have been disproven and have no real medical value). Innocent endangered animals are being killed for false hopes and cures within the eastern culture. Poaching has traditionally been defined as the illegal hunting, killing or capturing of wild animals. The difference between poaching and hunting is one, is that poaching is hunting without the approval of whomever controls or owns the land. Even though some people believe poaching creates lots of business and brings in major income for certain smaller, poorer countries, it endangers our species because it reduces the population of rare or endangered animals, destroys precious ecosystems within the wild, and poaching is extremely harmful to humans.

The first disadvantage of wilderness and wildlife preservation for less-affluent countries is the loss of traditional homes, agriculture lands, hunting accesses and culture for its local populations (Fryer, M. 2015). An example of this dark side from preservation of nature is Project Tiger. Project Tiger is launched after international concern had been raised for tiger ever since the General Assembly of the IUCN in New Delhi in 1969
