		The blue macaws like most species are mainly being killed off by the human destruction of habitat, but in the end, it is illegal collecting for a market that might pay as high as $60,000 for a single Spix’s Macaw that is delivering the coup de grãce.
		The biggest challenge, though, may well be securing, restoring, and protecting a region of habitat that is appropriate and sufficiently large to support a viable population of the Macaw.
		I do not see how the tide of humanity can be turned back from the eventual destruction of all natural places and their flora and fauna.

		Needless to say, in addition to habitat destruction, the pet trade has been a major factor in depleating many parrot species in the wild.
		Besides habitat loss (deforestation and roost site disutrbances) as a primary threat to bats worldwide, flying foxes are also actually killed and eaten as a delicacy by some people.

	Reptiles as Pets
		Taking native reptiles and amphibians from the wild for pets is a very traditional thing to do, but may or may not be appropriate, depending on the status of the wild populations in your area, and for some species may also be prohibited by state or federal law.
		Development and habitat destruction, pollution, human disturbance, and predation by cats, dogs, and children have already severely impacted many visible reptile and amphibian populations.
		This doesn't always mean replicating its natural habitat; for some reptiles, such as cornsnakes, their needs are very simple.
