This is my go-to paper to point out that significant long-distance trade in wildlife is an ancient phenomenon- here macaws were traded from AD 700 from Meso into North America. Advocates of reintroductions of charismatic species based on sparse remains often conveniently overlook the role of trade.
Kiva Journal@kivaswjournal.bsky.social · 6mo agoScarlet macaws hold diverse archaeological interpretations across the U.S. Southwest and Northern Mexico. This article by Crown reviews these interpretations, advancing the discussion on how macaws reveal insights into past lifeways. buff.ly/3Z59XAR #Archaeology #ScarletMacaws

Australia’s land-use change is steadily shrinking and fragmenting native habitat, especially along the east coast and in the north. Even where land isn’t fully cleared, fragmentation leaves wildlife more vulnerable to fire, heat and collapse — outpacing conservation efforts.
