They are the seed spreaders of the forest, ensuring new growth. Helping our native parrot populations is key to supporting New Zealand’s forests, flora and fauna. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73601b23942e6802b9ce65/1584620537689-0LV5ENNGLGZ93G54I7TJ/image-80.jpg Home - The World's leading experts in parrot conservation We are a World Parrot Trust affiliate organisation.

He has studied wild parrots and other birds for more than 25 years, authoring a number of papers on ecology and parrots in the wild bird trade. He first did undergraduate studies where he researched the roles of juvenile mortality, nest defense, and parent-offspring conflict in the evolution of predatory bird reversed-size sexual dimorphism at the University of Washington and UC Santa Cruz. He then earned a Ph.D. in Ecology from UC Davis in parrot social behavior, foraging ecology, and soil eating in South-eastern Peru. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73601b23942e6802b9ce65/1661874162287-OELLSE6BE87ZTLNUIOQC/Screen+Shot+2022-08-30+at+8.42.02+AM.png Our Experts - Dr Luis Ortiz-Catedral (Ph.D.) Luis is the Director of the Oceania Conservation Program for the World Parrot Trust. He is a conservation biologist and wildlife manager specialising on recovering populations of threatened island vertebrates. He has studied wild parrots in New Zealand and Australia for 17 years.

The charity is backed by The World Parrot Trust, a leading global charity focused on the conversation of parrots in the wild. The World Parrot Trust has over 25 active projects across the globe, from re-introducing macaws in Costa Rica, to stopping the wild bird trade in Indonesia. The NZ Parrot Trust was setup to continue the work of the World Parrot Trust in New Zealand and the South Pacific. The charity will focus on aiding the conservation of threatened and endangered parrot species. This will be done through a mix of direct project involvement, such as re-introduction of Cyanoramphus into “mainland islands” as well as providing grants, funding and support to existing NZ based charities already working on the conversation of parrots, such as the Kea Conservation Project and the Kakapo recovery program. https://www.parrots.org.nz/contact-us daily 0.75 2020-03-28
