Resplendent quetzals are hunted primarily for their striking feathers, which are highly valued in traditional and cultural contexts, particularly in Mesoamerican indigenous cultures. The feathers are often used in ceremonial headdresses and clothing, symbolizing beauty and status. Additionally, habitat loss and illegal trapping for the pet trade have contributed to their decline, further threatening their populations. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these birds from overexploitation and habitat destruction.
