Over the last year, the WIRE – (Wildlife Investigative Reporters and Editors) team has been investigating a story that spans three continents and dives deep into the dark corners of the internet that are driving one of the world’s most intelligent birds — the African Grey Parrot — toward extinction in the wild.Fueled by social media, the demand for pet African Greys has skyrocketed, contributing to the stunning loss of over a million birds in the wild. With weak enforcement, light penalties, and corruption, wildlife trafficking is a high-reward, low-risk industry that rivals guns, drugs, and human trafficking for profits. The WIRE investigation exposes a system built on loopholes, greed, and digital demand — one that is silencing the forests of West and Central Africa, one bird at a time.Read the full story [linked in our bio] to understand the crisis facing the African Grey Parrot and the global forces driving it.__WIRE – Wildlife Investigative Reporters and Editors – is an independent nonprofit journalism organization. WIRE’s inaugural investigation exposes a global, organized, and persistent wildlife trafficking enterprise that exploits loopholes in legal trade, thrives on corruption and digital demand, and is driving one of the world’s most intelligent birds — the African Grey Parrot — toward extinction in the wild.#WildlifeConservation #WildlifeProtection #IllegalWildlifeTrade #WildlifeInvestigation #InvestigativeJournalism #EndangeredSpecies#NatureConservation #EndangeredSpecies #Biodiversity #AfricanGreyParrot #EndTheTrade #africangrey #ParrotsofTiktok #TalkingParrot #WIRE #EndThePetTrade

History was made in Ecuador.In 2008, one of the smallest and most biodiverse countries on Earth became the first to declare that Nature has rights — to exist, to thrive, and to regenerate.This vision was born from Indigenous worldviews that see rivers, forests, mountains and oceans as living relatives — not resources. It offered humanity a new path, one rooted in respect and interconnection.Now, as extraction expands and ecosystems collapse, that idea feels more urgent than ever. The Rights of Nature are not just words on paper — they’re a reminder that the future of all life depends on restoring balance with the planet.It’s time to listen.It’s time to act.Because there is no future without a living planet.Produced by @mullu.tvVoiceover by Paccha Turner Chuji—Se hizo historia en Ecuador.En 2008, uno de los países más pequeños y biodiversos del mundo se convirtió en el primero en reconocer que la Naturaleza tiene derechos: a existir, a prosperar y a regenerarse.Esta visión nace de las cosmovisiones indígenas, que ven ríos, bosques, montañas y océanos como seres vivos, familiares cercanos, y no como simples recursos. Se mostró un camino distinto para la humanidad, basado en el respeto, cuidado y conexión con todo lo que nos rodea.Hoy, con la expansión del extractivismo y el colapso de los ecosistemas, esa idea es más urgente que nunca. Los Derechos de la Naturaleza no son solo palabras: nos recuerdan que el futuro de toda la vida depende de equilibrarnos con el planeta.Es hora de escuchar.Es hora de actuar.No hay futuro sin un planeta vivo.Producido por @mullu.tvVoz: Paccha Turner Chuji

Starting this week, world leaders will gather in Bélem, Brazil for COP30, the first global climate summit held in the rainforest. Brazil is home to 60% of the Amazon - the lungs of the Earth, and one of our planet’s most vital life-support systems. Yet is in peril. In the last four decades, animal agriculture (pasture and feed crops) has driven 95% of its deforestation in Brazil. Globally animal agriculture and extractive industries like mining and oil have caused the destruction of hundreds of millions of acres of irreplaceable ecosystems. Indigenous Peoples have shown us that safeguarding nature is our most powerful solution to the climate, biodiversity, and human wellbeing crises. @rewild is honored to be part of the Protecting Our Planet Challenge alongside other partners, and will be pledging another $500 million toward The Forest Tenure Funder’s Group’s effort to help our Indigenous Peoples and local communities protect their ancestral lands.Our world leaders at COP30 must also guarantee nature’s most effective guardians the resources they need to continue protecting these vital ecosystems, through mechanisms like the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. I urge leaders to unite and meet the moment. Our future depends on it.

This #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we celebrate the Indigenous leaders who remind us what it means to live in harmony with the Earth. @juma_xipaia, who hails from the Brazilian Amazon, embodies that spirit. Her courage, wisdom, and leadership inspire a global movement to defend nature, culture, and community.@yanunifilm, the award-winning and critically acclaimed documentary that tells Juma’s story, is a testament to the power of Indigenous voices and the hope they carry for our shared future. Thrilled to share the official trailer and that the film will premiere at the Los Angeles Brazilian Film Festival today and at the São Paulo International Film Festival on October 17.Director: @richardladkaniProducers: @juma_xipaia, Anita Ladkani, and me.Executive Producers: @daxdasilva, Joanna Natasegara, @nixlaura, @ericterena, Martin Choroba, and @philippschall.#YanuniFilm is a @malaika.pictures production in association with Appian Way, @niatero, @ageofunion, @telluxgruppe, and with the support of ÖFI+ @filminstitut.The impact campaign in support of the @institutojuma is led by @earthalliance.

🇨🇱 Chile’s irreplaceable Guafo Island is now protected from coal mining, timber logging and other destructive industries. 🪵 Thanks to a recent purchase from a private owner, @rewild and partners have ensured this Key Biodiversity Area is forever preserved. ⛰ 🟢 Now the partners aim to donate the property to the Chilean government to convert it into a Chilean National Park, ensuring this vital place is conserved for future generations. Guafo Island is critical to global biodiversity and the overall health of our planet. 🐦 This island is home to significant breeding populations of seabirds, including the world’s largest breeding colony of Sooty Shearwaters, which migrate over 40,000 miles from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere every single year. It also boasts Magellanic Penguins and a breeding population of Endangered Marine Otters.Learn more about Guafo Island ➡️ link in bio!Protecting Guafo Island was made possible thanks to support from Re:wild, the Jeff and Marieke Rothschild Foundation, the Wyss Foundation, Art into Acres, Cultiva and WWF Chile. Re:wild was represented, on a pro-bono basis, in the purchase by a team of Akin attorneys. The Carey law firm served as Re:wild’s Chilean local counsel for the transaction.📸: 1-Shutterstock 2-Evelyn Pfeiffer, WWF Chile
