Abstract

The article discusses international trading of African birds and the ban imposed by the European Union on wild bird importation. Birdlife International reports that pre-export mortality, wherein the birds don't even reach the export market due to mishandling or neglect, also pose a big threat towards its extinction.The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has released a list of the world's most traded bird species topped by countries like Mali, Senegal and Guinea.
