What was the main cause of the decrease in the size of the orange-bellied parrot population?

Sagot :

Answer:

There are about 50 Orange-bellied Parrots remaining in the wild, and a captive breeding population of around 320 individuals. The species is at risk of extinction in the wild in the near-term. Current knowledge suggests that habitat loss and degradation, particularly in the non-breeding range, has caused the decline.
