My story

Right now, three parrot species are at risk of disappearing forever.

WPT wants to stop this, but we need your help. We need you to join the fight to save the Blue-throated Macaw, the Great Green Macaw and the Yellow-crested Cockatoo.

Listen to an interview with Jamie Gilardi, Executive Director of the WPT, speaking about the work being done to save the WPT 3!

Through your support this year, you will play an important part in recovery programs already underway:

In Bolivia, Blue-throated Macaws cling to survival, with fewer than 150 left. WPT has worked for over 10 years to understand the limitations affecting the recovery of this species. With that knowledge in hand, we are now shifting the focus of our program to the release of individual birds born in captivity, the first time this has been attempted with the species.

Yellow-crested Cockatoos are critically endangered in Indonesia, with fewer than a thousand remaining. The WPT has begun field studies with in-country researchers working to understand the issues that have reduced wild populations to their current low level. In the coming 12-months we will create and put in place conservation strategies to save the species.

Great Green Macaws struggle in Central America with fewer than 25 breeding pairs in Costa Rica, and only 30-40 birds remaining of a subspecies in Ecuador. WPT has partnered with two successful rescue organizations in Ecuador and Costa Rica working to bolster wild populations by releasing captive reared birds to the wild.

You can help these three species in the upcoming year...

All three species need immediate help. The World Parrot Trust has a plan, a campaign that's as easy as 1-2-3.

Save the WPT 3 is simple: Give 1 donation to save 3 species! What you give will have a maximum effect on the lives of these parrots. Your gift of £25, £50 or £100 will help us to fight on for the Blue-throated Macaws, the Great Green Macaws and Yellow-crested Cockatoos, all teetering on the edge of extinction.

Will you join our team and help save these parrots?
