David Woolcock

David has been concerned about wildlife since he was a child. This led him as an adult to help found the World Parrot Trust in 1989. As curator of Paradise Park, David has been responsible for overseeing the care and well being of the animals at the park and had been the Studbook keeper for many species including the Scarlet Macaw.

David's efforts for conservation education include leading the World Parrot Trust team to develop a series of innovative education buses that were sent to areas such as St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Dominica. The education buses toured the islands visiting schools and other locations to tell the story of endangered parrots and what needed to be done to save them from extinction.
