Shocking news: Brazil's
Along with that are 7 other bird species, some of which even have no chance of recovery.
In 2011, the parrot Blu in the "Rio" cinema animation became the idol of children around the world. And if you've known Rio and Blu, then there's bad news for you: The Spix (Blu species) in the next two years will officially be completely extinct in the wild.
The idol parrot Blu in Rio.
Specifically, Parrot Spix is one of eight species of birds in the world falling into this tragedy. These are also the first bird species to disappear in this decade (2010-2020), reported BirdLife International - the UK's non-governmental conservation group.
According to experts, most species in this group are endemic on small islands, meaning they are too easy to be hunted. Of these, there are 5 species of South America.
"Listening to extinction in birds, everyone thinks of dodo birds. But our analysis shows that the extinction process is still going on, and with increasing levels," said Dr. Stuart Butchart. , head of the research team of BirdLife International.
In the near future, they will become extinct in the wild.
"Historical data shows that 90% of extinct birds belong to small groups in isolated remote islands."
The cause of the extinction of these animals is because the habitat is narrowed too fast , the forest is destroyed, and the poachers are too unscrupulous.
"The habitat is lost too quickly due to the process of deforestation for agriculture, and by loggers".
Blu's Spix species was hunted a lot about 150 years ago.
To produce this result, experts investigated 51 species of birds in the "Critically Endangered" category in the IUCN Red List. The list shows about 26,000 threatened species, making experts believe that a 6th major extinction in history is about to happen.
It is known that Blu's Spix species was hunted a lot about 150 years ago. They are locked up and transported around the world to make animals interesting, and then gradually people no longer find them in the wild anymore.
In 1985, there were 3 parrot individuals found in Brazil. Two of them were stolen by poachers, while the other was unable to reproduce. The last natural parrot was discovered in 2000, and is now being included in the re-breeding program to restore the whole species.
Brazil's Pernambuco owl - one of the birds has no chance of recovery.
Other prominent birds in this list are poo-uli (small birds of Maui island, Hawaii), hunter birds (cryptic treehunter), and Pernambuco (Brazil) . All three species are expected to disappear, there is no way to recover.
According to Dr. Butchart, he is hoping that these figures can be a wake-up call for mankind. We need better conservation, so that other birds do not fall into the current danger.
