    Faces a high risk of extinction in the wild.

    The ochre-marked parakeet faces significant threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and the illegal pet trade. While specific large-scale recovery programs are not widely documented, conservation efforts often focus on protecting its remaining forest habitat. Responsible safari tourism can help by raising awareness, supporting local economies that rely on intact ecosystems, and providing funding for anti-poaching initiatives and habitat preservation.

    The ochre-marked parakeet is a species of parrot native to Brazil. It is also known as blue-throated parakeet in English and tiriba-grande, tiriba, cara-suja and fura-mato-grande in Portuguese. It is listed as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List.
