The collector
A WELL KNOWN SCIENTIST and bird breeder, Jesus Estudillo Lopez, has been arrested for attempting to smuggle 22 rare and protected birds out of Brazil. Dr Estudillo, a Mexican and a respected member of the international scientific and bird community, is one of the world’s leading experts on cracids, a group of pheasant-like birds which includes many endangered species. He has bred a number of the cracids in his breeding centre in Mexico. Estudillo was boarding a flight for Mexico City when his luggage was checked to reveal the birds. Source: Traffic Bulletin
