Answers
a) Macaws are classified in the genera Ara, Anodorhynchus, Cyanopsitta, Primolius, Orthopsittaca, and Diopsittaca in the family Psittacidae.
b) Their diet mainly consists of fruits, seeds, leaves, flowers and nuts. Most species possess a large and extremely powerful beak which they use to open nut shells, including such foods as tough as coconuts.
c) The main reasons for macaw decline are habitat loss and collection for the illegal trade. Habitat loss may take many forms including clearing for agriculture and selective logging. ... The threats faced by large macaws are compounded by the fact that these species have naturally low reproductive rates.
d) Traditional exports, principally metals, have helped make Peru one of the fastest growing Latin American economies over the last decade. However, falling commodities prices have taken their toll on export revenues and GDP growth. The focus of the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) in recent years has, therefore, been on diversifying the Peruvian economy and providing greater added value to production. Under the leadership of Minister Piero Ghezzi, PRODUCE has set the target of returning Peru to 7% growth rates through private partnerships that will develop the country´s secondary and tertiary industries. However, in the first five months of 2015, GDP from the industrial sector amounted to $9.8bn, a 2.6% decrease on the previous year.
