Faces a high risk of extinction in the wild.
The Alexandrine parakeet faces threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and the illegal pet trade, which significantly impacts wild populations. While specific large-scale recovery programs are limited, conservation efforts often focus on habitat protection and reducing illegal trapping. Responsible safari tourism helps by raising awareness, supporting local economies that incentivize conservation, and providing a non-extractive way to appreciate these birds in their natural environment.
