#Pakistan's 4 wild #parakeet species have suffered precipitous #PopulationDecline in recent decades, with their current numbers a mere fragment of what they used to be, #wildlife expert Anis Rehman tells #Anadolu.

#HumanBehavior is mostly to blame for their decline into locally #endangered status, as local communities and others have engaged in #poaching and #trafficking of the prized #birds, while also cutting down the old hollow trees where they nest.

The solution lies in a 'strict' #ban on the poaching and smuggling of parakeets until their population recovers, according to Rab Nawaz of World Wide Fund for #Nature #WWF Pakistan, who said that if these are contained, parakeet populations could recover in 'a few years'.
