Spix's macaw  (Cyanopsitta spixii)

Classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List 2006 (1), and listed on Appendix I of CITES (7). This species is currently known only from captive populations, with the last known individual in the wild having disappeared at the end of 2000. The species is therefore thought to be extinct in the wild, but it cannot yet be classified as such until all areas of potential habitat have been thoroughly surveyed. If any populations remain, they are likely to be tiny, and for these reasons the species is classified as Critically Endangered (1).
