Parrot Poaching Must Stop Now, and We’re Doing It!
From my 30 years of working on parrot conservation in Latin America, I find that with the majority of parrot species, especially the more charismatic species, the illegal wildlife trade is the gravest threat. A recent paper, “Current threats faced by Neotropical parrot populations,”
for which I was one of many authors, confirms that I share this understanding with many other parrot conservationists.
Liberating scarlet macaw chicks to the wild in September 2017
Because of this, One Earth Conservation focuses on stopping the poaching, now by liberating wings. This is no easy task for the challenges are many. Even so, we and our partners do not desist from the endeavor to preserve what we cherish.
With enough grit, perseverance, honest and empathetic relationships, and probably a bit of luck, we can decrease the poaching, even dramatically. Recently we have been astounded with the success in La Moskitia, Honduras. There the local villagers have mounted a community patrol program, along with nest monitoring and established a Rescue and Liberation Center to curb the loss of their birds.
In 2014 no wild scarlet macaw chick escaped the illegal wildlife trade in our conservation area around the village of Mabita. Both in 2016 and 2017, no chick from monitored and protected wild nests entered the illegal wildlife trade. We have probably saved over 100 scarlet macaw chicks from a lifetime of captivity, effectively increasing the wild population by 20%.
The governmental agencies keep bringing confiscated parrots to the Rescue Center, which is a good thing, but also has it's challenges
A key ingredient in this success has been the involvement of the governmental regulatory and protection agencies, such as ICF (Forestry Service), the military, the indigenous federation FINZIMOS, and the Pt. Lempira police (thank you all!). They have gained momentum in part because for the last two years we have a functional and reliable Rescue and Liberation Center.

장시간 운전이나 야외 활동 후에는 몸이 쉽게 지치는데 가까운 곳을 찾아 이동하기보다 편안한 공간에서 관리받을 수 있다는 점이 편리합니다. 서비스를 살펴보면서 수원출장마사지 시간 활용도가 높고 일상 일정에 맞춰 이용하기 좋다는 장점을 느꼈습니다. 가볍게 휴식을 취하고 뻐근했던 부위를 관리하며 다음 일정을 준비하는 데 유용해 보입니다.
The spiritual go bag article offered a reflective perspective on preparedness in difficult times. A comparable ac repair near me mindset-focused discussion also appeared in a citylineairconditioning-inspired wellbeing piece.
Intriguing storytelling it keeps the https://qualityfenceandcustomoutdoors.com/ reader curious and engaged throughout. I recently read something similar on a based review blog.
This was a very grounding and reflective read much needed. I recently came across a similar thoughtful piece on https://www.doublegpainters.com/ that resonated as well.
