ABOUT

Saving Endangered Species

Protecting wild parrots means assessing and preserving their populations, genetic diversity, environment, resources and nesting areas. Threats such as poaching, introduction of non-native predators and human-wildlife conflicts have greatly endangered wild parrots. To save them, the World Parrot Trust works with key local organisations and communities to support the following efforts:

Studying Parrot Ecology

Studying Parrot Ecology

Researching the behaviour, habitat, diet and breeding behaviours of little-known species. This understanding is crucial for directing effective conservation efforts.

Determining Population Threats

Determining Population Threats

Discovering why specific species or their populations are decreasing. Causes may include habitat loss, changing climate, poaching and introduced predators.

Restoring Wild Populations

Restoring Wild Populations

Implementing proactive measures to increase numbers including breeding-for-release programs, habitat enhancement and protection, reintroduction of species into their home ranges or translocation to suitable areas.

Identifying Species at Risk

Identifying Species at Risk

Assessing the size, health and distribution of wildlife populations. This data is vital for understanding a species' current status and identifying those at risk.

Implementing Conservation Strategies

Implementing Conservation Strategies

Carrying out actions to lessen or remove threats. This could include habitat restoration and anti-poaching efforts.

Building Long-term Alliances

Building Long-term Alliances

Effective conservation with support and collaboration across multiple levels. This includes garnering support from local and regional governments, non-governmental organisations, communities and other concerned parties.

We can protect these magnificent birds through science-based conservation efforts. By joining us, you become an integral part of our efforts to secure the future of parrots everywhere. Let’s work together to ensure their survival.
