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.

"Swiftie" might make you think of Taylor Swift, but what about the endangered Swift parrots?🦜💔 With <750 left, Senator Pocock is rallying Swift's fans to save them from extinction. Habitat loss from logging is a major threat > https://t.co/ahN14w38OS

[World Parrot Trust @ParrotTrust]

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. 👏

[World Parrot Trust @ParrotTrust]

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.

[World Parrot Trust @ParrotTrust]

WPT has joined partners in the @AsiaforAnimals coalition in writing to the governments of Sri Lanka and Suriname calling for answers as to how 330 birds were exported to Sri Lanka on a private plane from Suriname without the proper documentation.
