SummaryThis striking bird of the Amazon has been desecrated by mankind for our own enjoyment. One man, Charles Munn, braving constant death threats, has taken on the government and poachers in his effort to save the Macaw and the forest of Peru. In the United States, Dr. Lorin Linder and others care for these birds abandoned by careless owners while the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fights a losing battle against the rampant smuggling of these endangered animals.
