Tremendous news - you’ve helped us hit 50,000 signatures! Thousands of caring and concerned people just like you have left their mark, and we couldn’t be more pleased. We’re excited for this reason: having your support will go a long way in helping to ensure that African Grey parrots get the protection they need. These wonderful birds are in trouble in the wild. Unsustainable trapping for the pet trade has driven their populations to the brink of extinction. The World Parrot Trust is calling for the trade in wild Grey parrots to be halted, and is urging everyone to sign a petition to be presented at the next meeting of CITES in October. To find out more about CITES and why signing the petition is so important, have a listen to an interview with Dr. Rowan Martin, WPT's Africa Programme Director.
