New World Parrots in Crisis: Solutions from Conservation Biology

Very Good hardcover in a very good dust jacket. 

Neotropical parrots are one of the most threatened groups of birds in the world. Captured and exported for aviculture and the pet trade and exterminated as agricultural pests, neotropical parrots suffer as well from the destruction of tropical rain forest habitats. New World Parrots in Crisis provides a comprehensive overview of the hazards facing these birds as well as a detailed discussion of a range of possible conservation solutions.  Presenting the biology of New World parrots, as well as strategies for sustaining their populations, this book serves as a watershed for the progress of conservation biology. As such, it will prove valuable to all concerned about species threatened with extinction.
