Azurara
The Spix's Macaw was officially declared extinct in the wild in 2019 by the IUCN, although the last sightings in the wild occurred around 2000. The species had been depleted due to the illegal pet trade, habitat loss, and other threats, leading to a severe population decline that left only a few individuals in captivity. However, a successful captive breeding program led to the reintroduction of several birds into their natural habitat in Brazil in 2022.
Plum-headed parakeet
The second motif Karl Martens chose for the lithograph is the plum-headed parakeet, partly for its unusual color but also because this bird has a fantastic group dynamic, which is depicted in his motif.
