Great Green Macaws released back into the wild


The World Parrot trust is based at Paradise Park in Hayle, Cornwall, and for several years now the trust has been helping to fund what is known as the Ara Project in Costa Rica.

The Great Green Macaw is very rare in Costa Rica due to the loss of 90% of its range, and they are now down to around 300 birds in the wild and it is thought that there are only 25 to 35 breeding pairs. 

Curator David Woolcock explains “The funding has helped the project build release aviaries for the Great Green Macaws that they are breeding in captivity. The good news is that on August 8th they were able to release their first 10 birds back into the wild. So this project which was helped by the World Parrot Trust is making a real difference to conservation in the wild.”

The Trust has helped in the survival of 50 species of parrot in 30 countries around the world.
