The Turquoise-fronted Parrot (Amazona aestiva) is under siege by those seeking to exploit its beauty.  Each year thousands of Turquoise-fronted Parrot chicks are taken from the Pantanal to be traded illegally as pets, both in Brazil and overseas.  In the period 1988 to 1997, about 3000 chicks were recovered by inspectors and sent to the  Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center associated with the Pantanal Foundation.
