Southern Africa is losing protected wild plants and animals at an alarming rate. Between 2005 and 2014, around 18,000 individual species worth US$340-million were legally sold. This figure, which excludes losses from poaching, was highlighted in a report by the United Nations Environment Program that flashes a number of warning lights.

The report exposes the high global demand of parrots as household pets. Exports of live parrots increased 11-fold over the period, from 50,000 birds in 2005 to over 300,000 in 2014.
