Venezuelan Red Siskens (above) perch on branches in Vargas.   40 farmers in the country's coastal mountains of Carayaca have stopped cutting trees down in a strategic first step to creating a viable habitat for the threatened species.   Red Siskins have sold online for over $300 and the demand is high in eastern Europe and Asia.
