One third of the world’s nearly 400 species of parrots are threatened with
extinction or already close to it. These include some of the most
spectacular and iconic bird species on the planet, such as the Hyacinth
Macaw from South America, the Kakapo from New Zealand and the
Orange-bellied Parrot from Australia. This book takes a detailed look at 30
parrot species and explains why they are endangered and the steps being
taken to conserve them.
