A Global Response to the Parrot Crisis

The parrot crisis is global, as is the response. Speakers at the 2026 Parrot Crisis Summit (bios here) are from many places (see map above). Join this international gathering online and be part of this parrot solidarity movement.

The parrot crisis has long existed and is intensifying: sanctuaries caring for parrots without homes are overflowing and over 50% of wild populations are decreasing with nearly one third of all species threatened with extinction. This current situation largely comes from the increasing pressures of the parrot trade, resulting in harm to wild populations, ecosystems, human communities and health, and birds in captivity. One Earth Conservation and its various teams and staff are at the center of efforts to relieve the crisis and diminish this devastating harm. We are not alone. There are many people and projects around the world that are making a difference, and they have come together to form the International Alliance for the Protection of Parrots. You can make a difference too by attending the 2026 Parrot Crisis Summit, November 12-13, 2027 (free of charge), and learning about the crisis and what can be done.

This summit will:

• Highlight the connection between the parrot trade and its harm to parrots and people all over the world, as well as the unsuitability of parrots to captivity

• Illustrate the urgency of the parrot crisis across diverse geographic regions and cultures including Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

• Provide pathways for attendees of all backgrounds, educations, and ages to protect parrots wherever they are and however they can.
