This International Women’s Day, the World Parrot Trust proudly recognises the remarkable women around the world dedicated to protecting parrots and their habitats. These conservationists work tirelessly in diverse and often challenging environments, from remote jungles to bustling conservation centres, demonstrating the power of passion, resilience, and expertise in safeguarding these extraordinary birds.
Â
Across continents, our team members and partners tackle significant threats like wildlife trafficking, habitat destruction, and illegal pet trades. Their work spans from field research and species rehabilitation to vital community outreach and education—each effort contributing to the intricate and crucial mission of parrot conservation.
Â
But their impact goes beyond conservation. Many of these women have broken through social and cultural barriers to pursue careers in wildlife protection, becoming advocates and leaders within their communities. Their commitment inspires the next generation to join the cause, empowering local communities and fostering global awareness.
Today, we honour these incredible women who not only protect parrots but also drive positive change for ecosystems and communities alike. Their stories are a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through dedication and perseverance. Join us in celebrating their achievements and supporting their mission to create a world where parrots and all wildlife can thrive.
Â
Together, let’s recognise their inspiring work and help share their stories far and wide.
