Why is the Spix's Macaw endangered?

Answer 1

Spix's macaws aren't extinct. There are 120 individuals in captivity, and not the whole range of Spix's macaws has been surveyed, so they haven't been declared Extinct in the Wild; instead, their conservation status is Critically Endangered.

However, the last wild Spix's macaw was seen in 2000. They are threatened by habitat loss and the introduction of the Africanized bee, which competes for the same nesting sites as Spix's macaws and can sting them to death. Another factor that contributed to the plight of Spix's macaws was the illegal pet trade.
