International Parrot Conservation Corps

            You don't have to be a scientist, live in a parrot's native habitat, or have years of conservation experience to make a difference. You need a willingness to learn, a commitment to solidarity, and a desire to put your concern for parrots into action.

Parrot Conservation Corps, Honduras Chapter

        The challenges facing parrots are interconnected with the challenges facing the people, ecosystems, and communities with whom they share this Earth. Meeting those challenges requires more than knowledge alone. It requires relationships, collaboration, creativity, and a commitment to standing together.

The International Parrot Conservation Corps invites you to be part of that work. Together we learn parrot behavior, ecology, and conservation science and methodologies. Together we grow our capacity to build teams that act now and that will continue positively impacting the well-being of many far into the future.

       The first announcement for the International Parrot Conservation Corps, Caribbean Chapter. Please distribute as widely as you can. Thank you!

Wherever you are in the world, there is a place for you in this work. You can join the many others who have already joined the Corps from 17 countries and 4 continents.  There are now established chapters in Honduras and Paraguay, and currently one is underway in Guyana. In Guyana most of our participants are students from the Centre for the Study of Biological Diversity, University of Georgetown, with whom we are collaborating for this cohort. We also have participants who are professors and staff from this University, teachers from other institutions in Georgetown, and governmental staff from the Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission. These newest Corps members are busy developing a Conservation Solidarity Plan for their country as well as designing a mini project that suits their interests and their parrots' needs.

We will nearly double the number of participating countries in early 2027 as we extend this to the Caribbean and to Suriname, where it will be offered as a credited course at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. You can get more information about the Caribbean program here and apply here.

            Our next cohort begins in August 2027, and the invitation to join it is open now. Join a global community committed to learning together, acting together, and building a future in which parrots and the communities who share their world can thrive.
