Aquarium trade can drive a species out of extinction, especially if that species has limited range. Take Banggai Cardinal for example. It's "Endangered" on IUCN red list, thanks to aquarium trade.

That's a very sad reading but at least some village habitants are reacting to protect them. If the locals are getting sensible about this, they may have a chance.
