Description

As the agency reported it.

The goal of this project is to establish a population of 500 scarlet macaws (ARA macao cyanoptera) while protecting other native parrots and parakeets species threatened by habitat loss and poaching for illegal pet trade in LOS tuxtlas biosphere reserve of mexico. The scarlet macaw population in mexico has been reduced to 250 individuals distributed in two geographically isolated areas, making this effort nationally and regionally important. Previous funding enabled the applicant to release 132 macaws; establish community monitoring groups; reforest 55 has. Of paddocks; implement agroforestry activities, and pilot apiculture farms to improve habitat quality and provide economic alternatives to local communities. This two-year grant will support: (1) releasing an additional 30 macaws for a total reintroduced population of 200 individuals; (2) reintroduce three species of captive-bred native parrots (a. Guatemalae, a. Oratrix and a. Pionus senilis); (3) release 15 rehabilitated parrots previously rescued from the illegal pet trade; (3) guide community-led reforestation and restoration efforts along 100 has. Of degraded tropical rain forest to increase species habitat, foraging, nesting and roosting areas; and (4) implement an educational campaign for elementary school students on the importance of parrots and the local ecosystem.
