However, very little was known about this species, even upon the discovery of the Spix’s Macaw, these parrots were already considered rare and only a handful of people were able to get a glimpse and observe the Spix’s Macaw.  ]]> 2022-11-24 08:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2396542558 zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397695234 2022-11-25 08:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397695234 zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397696036 Species Names - Cyanopsitta Spixii

According to a several year survey, this bird has been completely extirpated from its natural course. The IUCN officially declared the Spix Macaw to be officially extinct in 2019. ]]> 2022-11-25 08:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397707071 Spix’s Macaw zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397710399 2022-11-25 08:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397710399 Location of Spix's Macaw zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397717374 2022-11-25 08:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397717374 zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397719352 THE Spix's macaw's NATURAL HOME is the Caatinga, a tropical dry forest in Northeastern Brazil that covers 10% of the country. The caatinga is a tropical dry forest that covers 10% of northeastern Brazil. Everything appears lush and green during the rainy season, which lasts about three months.

It lived in a very restricted range, and the destruction of the Caraiba woodlands meant almost total loss of the bird’s nesting habitat and was instrumental in its extinction in the wild. They have also been relentlessly trapped in the illegal cage-bird trade.]]> 2022-11-25 09:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397771573 How do Spax's Macaw Behave? zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397772837 Spix's macaws are shy and unapproachable but can become aggressive if they feel threatened. They fly with slow, deep wing beats that are reminiscent of larger macaws; accompanied by their typical kraa-ark calls. These parrots are mostly active during the daytime (diurnal), spending the nights on the crabeiras along the streams. They are seen taking the same flight paths to and from their feeding or roosting places at the same hours every day. Their predictability led to their extinction, as it made them easy targets for hunters and trappers.]]> 2022-11-25 09:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397772837 zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397774730 2022-11-25 09:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397774730 Why did they go extinct? zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397779908 2022-11-25 09:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397779908 zykejhovertevalarosaab https://padlet.com/zykejhovertevalarosaab/q6p9ao2edlg0d36n/wish/2397780608 Since the year 2000, the species has been considered extinct in the wild.

  • To briefly explain the start of an era, the flourishing of life and its species took place 540 million years ago during the cambrian explosion. From there on, life diversified and nurtured its own growth. With regard, this emphasizes the point that when an entity is lost, a new entity is born or discovered. In simple terms, mass extinctions may cause the dying out of numerous species, but the tendency always bears new discoveries.

  • Ordovician-silurian Extinction: This mass extinction happened 440 million years ago and the occurrence that happened was that small marine organisms went extinct or died out.
  • Devonian Extinction: This mass extinction happened 365 million years ago and what happened was the extinction of many tropical marine species.
  • Permian-triassic Extinction: This mass extinction occurred 250 million years ago and the species that went extinct were vertebrates. Additionally, this was recorded as the largest mass extinction in the history of the World.
  • Triassic-jurassic Extinction: This happened 210 million years ago, which affected land vertebrates. On the other hand, this caused the flourishing of dinosaurs. 
  • Cretaceous-tertiary Extinction or K-T extinction: This happened 65 millions years ago and this is recorded as the major extinction that eradicated 50 percent of animals, specifically dinosaurs, and plants.

  • To briefly summarize, both are concerned with the rate of extinction but both differ in time and process. For modern or current extinction rates, it is 1000 times higher than background rates. Additionally, it poses to be 10,000 times higher in the future, if this continues.

  • Deforestation: refers to clearing out forests for other purposes such as expansions and infrastructures, mining activities, urbanization, and many more.
  • Logging: the process of cutting down trees for sale or to harvest timber for wood and other products for sale.
  • Overfishing: the act of catching too many fish than needed and at a rate faster than it can naturally repopulate, making the species in that area progressively underpopulated.
  • Hunting/Poaching: refers to hunting animals, killing them, either for consumption, for sale, or for trade, or for sport.
  • Pollution: various human activities cause trash to pollute and damage waters, lands, and the quality of air. Runoffs produced by companies are also a factor.
