Are there poachers in the Amazon?

Yes there are. Poachers seek all forms of wildlife in the Amazon basin, including plants. Perhaps some of the worse offenders are those that trap birds, especially the various species of parrots. Many of these animals and plants are threatened species, which is why they are so rare and, thus, valuable.
