“…In this sense, it is important to understand the extent of the trafficking of these animals by collecting accurate data so that combating measures can be implemented to curb this illegal business, and environmental awareness campaigns and more severe punitive laws can be developed (Pyke and Szabo, 2018). Several research studies have been conducted on wild bird trafficking, such as the ones carried out by Hidasi et al (2013), Menes and Simonian (2016), Reis et al (2017), Restrepo-Rodas and Pulgarín-Restrepo (2017), Cavalcanti and Nunes (2019), Ferreira and Barros (2020), Pontes Filho et al (2021), Sales et al (2022), and. All these studies have shown that bird trafficking is growing all over the world, especially in countries with great biodiversity such as Brazil, and that it is difficult to eradicate since the traffickers are increasingly equipped, use routes, and lure uneducated people lacking environmental education, who live in poverty and need to survive, and thus are attracted by the low values offered.…”
