Abstract

The illegal traffic of wildlife is one of the major enemies of biodiversity. Unfortunately, Mexico is an important part of the wildlife trafficking network, with the illicit market for the sale of wild animals being one of the most severe problems that face the country's wild animal species. This article explains the complexity of the illegal parrot pet trade in Mexico, where wildlife trade goes beyond buyers and sellers, it involves a whole network of people making illegal transactions that occur under the radar of law enforncement, making it as difficult to eradicate as other forms of organized crime.
