This plate is part of the exclusive BirdLife Collection my collaboration with BirdLife International. The plate shows details of each of the birds' status on the Red List on the back so you can understand more about their plight. This cockatoo has suffered (and may continue to suffer) an extremely rapid population decline in south-east Asia, owing to unsustainable trapping for the cagebird trade.
