One Earth Conservation

A mother scarlet macaw lost her chicks twice to poachers in the same year. Her loss echoes our own, as does her strength.

By turning to nature, to the jungle, to parrots, to one another, and to the great beauty and tragedy around us, we can heal the earth.

"...that's the real core, that if you are going to an area where parrots are in trouble, the people are in trouble too." - LoraKim Joyner...

These opening remarks, given at the Foster Parrots Fundraiser and Memorial, invite us to go on without hope, but with love and connection.

Birding helps us embrace the reality of life and death, and hence become better stewards of earth.

Looking at parrots is a scientific art, such as during parrot conservation in Paraguay. It changes one to listen to what the parrot says.

The ranch hands and cowboys of Paraguay turn towards conservation to protect their parrots, and we thank them for it!

Watching birds is good for us and for all of life. Find out how you can save yourself and birds, and how to join us for our upcoming walks.
