One third of the world’s nearly 400 species of parrots are threatened with extinction with many perilously close to it. These include some of the most spectacular and iconic bird species on the planet, such as the Hyacinth Macaw from South America and the Kakapo from New Zealand.
The opening chapters explain the problems currently faced by parrots in their natural habitats. This is followed by a detailed look at nearly 40 parrot species and the steps being taken to conserve them. Highlights include observations of the author’s own time in the field observing conservation projects. These very personal accounts vividly bring to life the precarious survival of many parrot species. The book will serve as an essential reference to all those people directly involved in parrot conservation, to understand the issues involved and the techniques – successful and unsuccessful – applied to date. The engaging text and captivating stories aim to promote a wider interest in the plight and conservation of parrots, essential in terms of raising funds for the many projects that require funding.
