Birds of a feather flock together…

The work of the World Parrot Trust

Bearing its name in mind, it’s probably not surprising that Macaw Soft Drinks makers of H2, support the World Parrot Trust charity. As well as keeping an eye on our feathered friends on our own shores, the World Parrot Trust funds projects and promotes excellence in parrot conservation and welfare on a global scale.

Since it was founded in 1989, the World Parrot Trust has funded conservation work for 37 different species in 22 countries including Australia, Brazil, Mauritius and South Africa. Its main aims are:

• to maintain the survival of parrot species in the wild and the welfare of captive birds everywhere
  
  
• to restore and protect populations of wild parrots and their native habitats
  
  
• to promote awareness of the threats to all parrots, captive and wild
  

Parrots are paramount
As well as campaigning to stop the importation of wild-caught birds into the European Union, the World Parrot Trust is currently watching the welfare of 12 other species of parrot: African Grey, Blue Throated Macaw, Echo Parakeet, Golden Conure, Great Green Macaw (Buffons), Lear’s Macaw, Moluccan Cockatoo, St Vincent Amazon, Thick Billed Parrot, Red-throated Lorikeet, Palm Cockatoo and the Imperial Amazon.

The World Parrot Trust works tirelessly to prevent the extinction of species worldwide. Success stories include that of the Great Green Macaw in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, where the World Parrot Trust has created a Great Green Macaw Conservation Fund and raised over $20,000, and the Imperial Amazon, whose survival rate is being maintained with the help of a new National Park in Dominica in the West Indies, contributed towards by The Trust.
