There are now legal limits on hunting, but not all species are protected by law Even when animals are legally protected, illegal hunting for fur, tusks and horns continues Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or sold as pets For example, the little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been captured in such numbers for private bird collections that it is almost extinct in the wild In addition to this, many species' habitats are eliminated when people clear land in order to build on it, or when they introduce domestic and non-native animals which overgraze the vegetation and even prey on birds and mammals which are already at risk of extinction Why is it important to save endangered species?
