Rare Javan Green Magpie At Chester Zoo In Extinction Prevention Attempt

WWF Global quoted Dr. Chris R. Shepherd, Regional Director for TRAFFIC (a wildlife trade monitoring network) in Southeast Asia, who said: The volume of trade is so high that once common wild birds are vanishing at an alarming rate, literally trapped out of existence. Bird Life International says the Javan Green Magpie has been categorized by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) as Critically Endangered. This means it is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
